FUNDRAISING
Fundraising, sponsorships and grants work hand in hand to make sure your band has the money you need. Be careful not to put all your eggs in one basket. While getting grants for would be wonderful there are challenges:
- Foundations and corporations have a limited amount of funds available to give as grants.
- There are limited grants available.
- Finally, there are many bands and music departments competing for the same grant money.
