Sonic Lounge Grants / Funding Consultation

Got a project that needs funding, but not sure where to start?

Book a focused, one-to-one 60-minute funding consultation with Sonic Lounge, designed specifically for artists, promoters, labels, music organisations and other professionals working across the independent music sector.

Whether you’ve found a fund you want to apply for, already have an application underway, or simply want to understand what funding could be available to you, this session gives you dedicated time to talk through your project and get practical, tailored advice.

Your consultation can cover:

• Identifying funding opportunities that could suit your project
• Discussing whether a particular fund is right for you
• Developing your project idea into a stronger funding proposition
• Advice on structuring your application
• Identifying areas where your responses could be strengthened
• Budget planning and eligible project costs
• Understanding what funders are looking for
• Reviewing an application you've already started
• Planning your next steps and wider funding approach

Before your consultation:

You'll receive a short pre-consultation form to complete before the call. This means we can understand your project in advance and spend more of your 60 minutes actually working through your funding questions.

If you already have a draft application, project plan or budget, you'll also have the option to provide this ahead of the session.

Don't want to pay hundreds for a grant application?

You don't necessarily need someone else to write the whole thing for you.

This consultation is designed to help you understand how to approach your application yourself, where to focus your attention and how to make a stronger case for your project.

For additional support, you can combine your consultation with the Sonic Lounge Grant Application Support Pack, giving you editable templates, example responses, budget support and practical guidance to continue developing your application after the call.
