We recently conducted a survey to find out what songwriters and artists need most - and half of our survey respondents said grants could help them take their music to the next level, yet many weren’t sure where to start. This practical workshop is designed to change that.

In this online workshop, we’ll guide you to:

Discover funding opportunities that match your goals
Approach grant applications with confidence
Turn 2026 music plans into reality

Whether you’re looking to fund a mentorship opportunity, attend a songwriting retreat, or raise money for your next EP, this workshop will give you the tools to make your next career move more financially achievable.

This is a live session held on Zoom and will be recorded for those who cannot attend live. A playback will be made available for attendees to watch back for a limited time (48 hours). Replay will be sent to registered attendees the following day.

About the Facilitator:

This workshop will be facilitated by I Heart Songwriting Club founder, educator, music industry mentor and award-winning songwriter Francesca de Valence.

Previous workshop participants have said:

"I came to this workshop dreading self-promotion and the grossness of “the industry”. I left excited and motivated, with realistic, individualized goals I had set myself, and a clear, structured process I could follow which dissolved the overwhelm and made sure I focused my limited time and money on what will make the biggest impact. I am now three weeks away from releasing a single and feel clear and confident about what I am trying to achieve and how I will do so." - Previous participant

Hear praise for Francesca’s work: “I have received so much clarity about the flow and strategy of releasing music as an independent artist. This is such a great source of knowledge and support, and I am consistently inspired and pushed by the mentors and my fellow members!” - meadowhip

“Level Up Club was integral in my debut album release strategy, helping me establish a solid plan to work with over a year. Francesca and the other amazing mentors have helped me to grow as an artist and feel confident in the direction of my career. It makes me excited to think other artists will get to experience all the great things that Level Up Club has to offer!” - Isabel Rumble
