Get matched →Micro Grants are now announced for 2027, thanks to the continued and generous support of Conrad and Jennifer Bailey. This is the seventh year of the Micro Grants Programme for Professional Folk Artists who live and work in England. Eight grants of £500 each are being offered to folk artists to support anything that will help their professional career development.
This could include: Research and development time for new creative projects, support for the production of new albums, instrument purchase, marketing, PR and/or digital support, technical equipment purchase (e.g. portable sound equipment), or other personal training and development activities (including courses). This fund does not support the development of new or continuing education projects such as creating a project for schools.
Applicants can be at any stage of their career but must be working as a professional artist in folk music and/or dance. Applications will be accepted from individuals and groups of artists. The maximum award to each successful application will be £500 regardless of the number of artists involved in the application.
Applicants should complete the accompanying application form or provide a video or audio file which clearly answers all the questions on the application form. Please submit via email.
