NimbleFingers Bursary Program

At NimbleFingers, we believe music is for everyone. The Bursary Program is here to help make our workshops and festival accessible to folks who might not otherwise be able to attend due to financial circumstances. The fund is built through the generosity of our community—people who are able to give a little extra so others can join in.

We know the past few years have been tough for many. The cost of everyday life keeps rising, and even things that feed the soul can start to feel out of reach. While we truly believe NimbleFingers is a meaningful and valuable experience, we also understand that the cost can be a barrier.

If attending NimbleFingers feels financially challenging, the bursary fund may be able to help ease that load. Support is available to a wide range of participants—newcomers and long-time NimbleFingers folks alike, across all ages, instruments, and skill levels.

We’re glad you’re here, and we want to do what we can to help you be part of the music.

Able to Lend a Hand?

If you're in a position to help, donations to the NimbleFingers Bursary Fund are deeply appreciated. The fund relies on the kindness and generosity of our community—and NimbleFingers contributes each year as part of our commitment to building a strong, welcoming, and diverse musical home.

Donations can be made during registration or at any time throughout the year. Every contribution, big or small, helps bring more people together around the music.
