Cronfa Tradd Fund

Cronfa Tradd Fund is a new fund designed to support musicians, organisations, and groups working in and with musical traditions, of any cultural background, to develop their work through meaningful engagement with communities.   

The focus is on participatory and community-based activity, rather than performances or creation of work purely for presentation. Projects should explore ways for people to take part, share, and connect through traditional music in a collaborative way. 

Grants of up to £25,000 will support a wide range of traditional music activity across Wales:   

• Smaller grants (up to £10,000) will support artists leading grassroots community projects.   
• Larger awards (£2,000–£25,000) will support partnerships between organisations and musicians working together to develop traditional music within communities.  

The application deadline is 17:00 on Wednesday 8 April 2026.  Find more information and how to apply on the Ty Cerdd website.
