Aims and activities

We are a new grant-making foundation that mobilises the alternative (rock, metal and other subcultures) music community to give back via donating to our fund. We provide grants to community projects that use music to address social issues such as poor mental health, systemic inequalities, and lack of opportunities for young people. We have engaged a number of large corporates, high profile artists, and are developing a loyal following of music fans. We have also engaged an extensive network of local, grass-roots projects that are using music for positive social change.

We would like to explore collaborating with other grant-making bodies to access our networks and distribute funding to organisations who are improving lives through music related activities.
