Early Career Promoter Fund
The PRS Foundation has launched a new fund to support the career development of music promoters in England.
The Early Career Promoter Fund offers grants of up to £3,500 and capacity-building support to help early career independent promoters of all genres with a range of activities including:
- the booking, programming and promotion of events (including gigs, concerts, club nights, showcases, tours and other performances)
- costs associated with music activities (including venue hire, production, artist and/or DJ fees, crew fees, administration and other related costs)
- promotion costs (including design costs, print costs, distribution costs, advertising, and digital marketing costs)
- capacity building (including mentoring, coaching, shadowing, workshops, masterclasses, and other skill-building and networking opportunities)
- Other expenditure which helps grantees to programme a diverse range of artists, develop new audiences and build their skills.
The scheme will also help to address underrepresentation in music by ensuring support reaches a diverse range of promoters.
