What is the Make It Happen Fund?
The purpose of the Make It Happen Fund is to give our most recent graduates access to a competitive pot of seed funding to support their career goals and ambitions. The fund aims to create access to a source of funding that will support our graduates’ early stage career development, in a range of areas such as: training, networking, testing ideas, starting up companies, staging pop-up events or digital performances, and forming new collaborations.
For an idea of what projects can be supported, you can read about the 2021-2022 Awardees here.
Who is eligible for funding?
