SAC youth music grants

[lepeep]

I've been sent this news about the new round / deadline for funding for grants for Youth Music...here's the first three paras :

Youth Music Initiative Informal Sector fund

It’s nearly the start of the new financial year and the Youth Music Initiative (YMI)’s Informal Sector fund will be re-opening for 2008-09 on 1 April. The first deadline for large grants is Monday 7 April 2008 – less than a month away!

2007-08 has been a busy but successful year for the YMI in general and the Informal Sector fund in particular. Almost £1.9 million was requested from the fund and we were able to award £725,647 to over 50 organisations.

Competition for the fund is high but we still want to hear from everyone with a great idea for creative music making which aims to widen opportunities for young people. We’re looking for programmes that involve high quality and sustainable activity in any musical genre.
