Pay It Forward provides eligible touring teams with a fully funded package of specialist tour health support, designed around the realities of life and work on the road.

For the first programme year, we aim to support up to 50 tours taking place between October 2026 and the end of June 2027. Applications are open internationally.

Applications are now open

Applications to the Pay It Forward Fund are open throughout the year.

You can apply at any time for support with an upcoming on ongoing tour. Applications are assessed individually, taking into account the circumstances of the tour, the level of need and the funding available at the time.

We aim to review applications as quickly as possible, but we recommend applying as early as you can before your tour begins.

Funding is limited, and submitting an application does not guarantee that support will be available.

How funding rounds work

Pay It Forward accepts applications year-round.

Each application is considered on its own circumstances, including the needs of the tour and the funding available at the time. Applications are not assessed on a first-come, first-served basis.

If your tour is still some way off, you are welcome to apply in advance. You can also REGISTER FOR UPDATES to hear about the fund and other MITC programmes.

Before you start

You may find it helpful to read our FAQ. During the application, you will be asked about your tour, itinerary, touring team, existing support and why Pay It Forward would be useful.

Please have available:

• Your current tour itinerary. It does not need to be completely final.
• Your current tour P&L.

We know tour budgets are commercially sensitive. Your P&L and identifiable application information are used only by authorised MITC personnel involved in assessing or delivering the programme. They are not shared with Pay It Forward funders or external organisations.

Please do not include individual diagnoses, medical histories or other detailed clinical information in the application.
