This is a rough estimate of the amount of money I will need in order to put on the gig:
- Venue Hire – £100 each
- Band Fees – £20/band
- Technicians – £250 per person
- Wristbands – £10
- Door Staff – £100 per person
- Bar Staff – £100 per person
Total: £1000

The Bradford Council Large Project Grant is for individuals and offers from £1000-£5000 and is provided for new and one-off events. The deadline for this is January 26th, 2024 at midday.
This grant does require a 10% cash match for all grants up to £5,000.

Arts Council England and The National Lottery are partnered to provide funding for projects in the arts. Unfortunately, this does not support student projects that are directly related to their education.
At the moment, I am applying for the Bradford Large Project Grant despite the cash match requirement because that seems like my best option. I have contacted Bradford Producing Hub to see if they can point me in the right direction of other funds I may be able to access but am awaiting a reply at present.
