Applications are now open for the Music Network Music Capital Scheme 2026.
The Music Capital Scheme, which is supported by the Department of Culture, Communications and Sport, provides funding for the purchase of musical instruments and selected items of equipment to individual professional musicians and non-professional groups across the country.
An extensive range of applicant supports will be delivered between now and the application deadline. These will be available to both organisations and individuals, with a particular focus on supporting first time and previously unsuccessful applicants. Music Network will host two online Information Sessions, one for organisations considering applying to Award 1 and one for individuals considering applying to Awards 2 or 3. Alongside this will be online seminars on key topics relating to the application process and a limited number of one-to-one consultation sessions on these topics.
Deadline for applications: 2pm, Tuesday 15 December 2026.

One to one sessions
As part of our support for applicants we have a limited number of one-to-one consultation sessions with our seminar speakers.
If you would like to book a one-to-one consultation please email Sarah Ledwidge at capitalscheme@musicnetwork.ie. Please include your contact phone number, name of your organisation (if applicable) and let us know whether you have made any previous application to the Music Capital Scheme.
Please note, one-to-one sessions are limited and priority will go to first time and previously unsuccessful applicants. Attending a support session is not a guarantee of funding.
