Apply for a Grant

 The Trust runs a grants application process once a year, providing the Festival has surplus funds. Applications will only be considered during that period, as outlined below. If you would like to apply for a grant please note the following:

​​​

• The grant should support local musical or community projects.

​

• The minimum amount you can apply for is £250.

​

• Applications for grants in excess of £1,000 will not be considered unless they are supported by a costed plan and/or estimates detailing how the money will be spent. Supporting documentation must be sent to UBFTrustees@gmail.com within seven days of the application being submitted.

​

• Applications must be submitted between 1st-28th February. Applications received after 28th February will not be considered.

​

• Submitting an application for a grant does not guarantee it will be successful. Each year, applications are made for about five times the amount of money that is available, so a selection panel will assess each application on its merits and decide which will be successful. The selection panel’s decision is final.

​

• Applicants will be told whether their application has been successful by 31st March.
