THE FOLLOWING INDENT TEAMS HAVE BEEN FUNDED UNDER TWO CATEGORIES.
EVENT DEVELOPMENT GRANT RECIPIENTS
These grants are geared towards existing branded events that are seeking to expand their events either by extending the reach of their audience, developing a youth stage as part of larger scale events, tying in the broader community and engaging at a higher level with the young people in those communities, or a synergy of all of these. The idea is to graduate their existing event to bring it to a level that creates a sustainable and more engaging live music and entertainment culture in their region. These teams have previously held a Grass Roots Grant or have been funded through the Indent Partnerships Program.

*******************************************************************
GRASS ROOTS GRANTS
These grants are aimed towards newly formed event teams, or teams who are just starting one of their first events. Covering a broader range of event types from an entry-level point of view, these events are generally smaller in scale but aim to engage the community and give young and emerging artists and musicians a platform for which to showcase their music. This grant is a pre-requisite to applying for an Event Development Grant.
