Music industry bid-writing support
Do you work in the UK music industry and have an idea you believe deserves grant investment?
I have extensive experience with music industry bid-writing support, working with artists, venues, promotors and music sector professionals on funding applications for not for profit creative projects. I am highly attuned to the particular needs and challenges of the contemporary UK music industry, and I can help you shape your project, advise you on planning, budgeting, strategy and writing the bid itself.
Here are some examples of funds that I can help you apply for:

Success Stories
More Time Records:
"Hannah (Mina) helped us secure funding from the British Council for a project focused on South African electronic artist Mxshi Mo. We really appreciated her help and expertise, writing and checking through our application."
Nocturne Music:
Having an extra set of eyes on this particular grant was invaluable. Hannah (Mina) was patient and took time to understand the terms of reference, and was able to bring an added attention to detail, noting key words and factors that I had initially overlooked. Ultimately the application was a success and I will look forward to working more with Hannah in the future."
