Daniel Kingsbury Music For Youth Endowment Fund (DKMFY)

Sunshine Coast Community Services and Coast Cultural Alliance are pleased to announce that applications are now being accepted for this year’s DKMFY grant. Applicants may request funding assistance for opportunities such as music lessons, musical instruments, software, and/or electronic production, e.g. studio time or studio mentoring. The grant is open to Sunshine Coast youth ages 13 - 19 (age 19 as of December 31, 2025) who are looking for financial assistance. Those who applied in the past may apply again. We are offering several grants up to $500. This grant specifically prioritizes applicants without the financial means to pursue their music-related goals.

Deadline is 4pm Friday, February 28, 2025.

1. The application may be completed by the youth themself OR by a nominator who, with the consent of the youth, would like to recommend and represent them.

2. A link to applications can be found on Coast Cultural Alliance website (see button below) or in @scyouthoutreach Instagram bio.
