Youth Music Recharge Fund: Racial Equity

About this grant

Youth Music's Recharge Fund: Racial Equity offers core funding of up to £120,000 over four years to creative organisations in England that are led by communities who experience racial injustice and work with children and young people aged 0 to 25. Most of the money should go on core costs such as staffing, operations, wellbeing, governance and access, with small amounts of capital or project costs allowed where they strengthen the organisation. The fund aims to invest £2.4 million in total. Applications opened on 16 October 2026 and close at 5pm on 4 December 2026, with decisions at the end of March 2027 and programmes starting between June and September 2027. It is a one-stage online application and no match funding is needed.
