.AWAL has partnered with PRSFoundation to offer funding & career support to women, trans & non-binary artists, composers & songwriters.
The year-long partnership will see AWAL/Kobalt provide backing and annual workshops to around 40-50 recipients of PRS Foundation's Women Make Music fund, which was founded in 2011 and offers grants of up to £5,000 to UK-based music creators and aims to reduce the record industry's gender gap.
A 2016 independent report into the first five years of the Women Make Music fund additionally found that the scheme had a significant impact on female music creators' careers with 79% of those surveyed saying it increased their confidence. AWAL/Kobalt has donated £50,000 towards the initiative and says it will take an active role in mentoring several artists over the next 12 months.
