Created by Novo Amor in partnership with Beacons Cymru, The Birthplace Fund offers grants to ten successful applicants of up to £2,500 each, to support original music-makers across Wales. Whether you’re an artist, band, or music producer, this fund is here to give you the time, space, and resources to focus on what matters most: your music.

“Music gave me a way to express myself, to connect with people, and to build a life that felt true to who I am. It’s brought me joy, purpose, and community – and I want others to have the same chance. I created The Birthplace Fund because I know how it feels to be told you don’t have potential. I want to help change that for others, to create more space for creativity, opportunity, and belief, right here in Wales.”
