Introduction

Support letters are written statements from project partners such as artists, industry workers, venues, managers, or organisations, outlining your working relationship and confirming the necessity for the grant you’re applying for in relation to your project. 

They’re an integral part of your grant application as they tell assessors who you have teamed up with to bring past projects to life. Whether you’re applying for a recording grant and have worked with an in-house engineer for a studio, or are applying for a festival grant and have worked with an events promoter for a separate music event, these support letters make all the difference.

We've attached a simple yet effective support letter template you can use to send out to project partners when gathering support materials for your grants.
