The Music Venue Trust, with the backing of the Music Venues Alliance, has established the Pipeline Investment Fund (PIF), a grant scheme that enables UK-based Grassroots Music Venues to apply for minor grants up to £5,000.

These grants are intended to cover two key areas: small-scale capital applications (e.g., for lights, sound, access, ventilation, and minor building alterations) and staff training (including workforce diversification, succession planning, skills development, and strengthening local community ties).

PIF prioritises organisations that may not have access to other funding. The fund, which has already supported 62 venues with over £250,000, is set to reopen for applications in Autumn 2023. To stay informed about the reopening, register your interest. For information about supporting the Pipeline Investment Fund, please contact ozlem [at] musicvenuetrust.com.
