“Typically, micro grants are small grants for a one time project which can be given to individuals or groups trying to impact their local community. Nonprofits are also eligible for micro grants if they have smaller projects which align with funder priorities.” – instrumentl
Can I apply from outside of the UK?
Yes, we’ve expanded our Micro-Grants for Podcasters Programme to accept applications from creators worldwide. If you’re applying from outside the UK, you must have an active and valid PayPal account that matches the name and email you use to apply for the grant.
Can I apply as a group or company?
You can apply as a group or collective, but please note there must be a lead applicant. We will consider applications from companies under ten people who have a turnover of less than £50,000 (or your currency equivalent). This fund is aimed at indie and amateur producers without credits, so please bear this in mind.
