RivFest21 Bursary Awards

What we do...
Here at the River Reeves Foundation we award bursaries and grants to support emerging young talent from disadvantaged backgrounds, underrepresented communities or those with personal circumstances that might prevent them succeeding along their chosen creative pathway.
In River’s name and holding true to everything he stood for, we are passionate about young people backing themselves and their talent and daring to dream about careers within the music, performing and creative industries. We seek to create ‘alternate futures’ irrespective of who someone is, where they live or what they’re going through.
How we started...
Chris Martin and the band Coldplay sowed the seed for our charity’s creation imploring the world to create Viola Beach’s ‘alternate future’ when they paid tribute to Viola Beach at Glastonbury in 2016. As River’s family watched on, it struck all of us that despite all that had happened, for a brief moment the world paused and in front of 120,000 people, eight musicians performed together. The biggest band on the planet paid tribute to the band whose dreams had been ended so cruelly.
Why we do it...
RivFest as a charity fundraising music festival sets out to make a real difference to young people’s lives. It strives to capture the essence of that moving Glastonbury evening in 2016. We celebrate and encourage bands further along on their journeys to give something back, to inspire, to support and signpost the way for artists just starting out. Artists supporting artists.
The good bit is that we also put on a spectacular show for you to enjoy. That’s what the River Reeves Foundation is all about. So buy a ticket and have a great weekend 6th – 8th August. Head over to OfficialRivfest.com to buy your ticket now.
If music festivals aren't your thing, then you can still help. The River Reeves Foundation is looking to award over 50 bursaries this year. Make a donation and help us create ‘alternate futures’!
