The Sarah Nulty Power of Music Foundation, who provides funding to support individuals and organisations in Sheffield, who through music, make a positive difference to the lives of local people, are now offering grants of up to £2000.
Until now, grants have been limited to £500, so the new, larger grants are a significant step forward in the level of funding that the charity is able to provide.
Chair of Trustees, Julie Voisey, said: “By being able to provide larger grants, we hope that individuals or organisations with a vision they feel might be a bit too financially draining or out of reach, can now access that chunk of funding they need in order to realise their idea or project.
“We really hope that by offering this extra level of funding, more local people can be reached, and helped, by the transformative power of music.”
Sheffield Music School has already been a recipient of one of the new grants. The funding has been used to start a new project via its Tracks programme, “A Place Called Home”. The project runs weekly and invites Ukrainian refugees aged 12-16 to take part in music classes, workshops and lessons.
The larger grants are limited and are offered on a quarterly basis. The first round is open now until 30th June 2023. The smaller £500 grants continue to be available on a year-round rolling basis.
