The Potential Pool for Music Publishers

The Potential Pool for Music Publishers is a funding program offered by Koda Kultur that supports music publishers in all genres. All music publishers, regardless of nationality and membership, can apply. The pool focuses on publishers in a start‑up phase, including newly founded publishing companies or projects for young creators or those returning to the industry. Funding is available for a range of activities: music export and dissemination of Danish music abroad, sync grants for marketing recordings, educational grants for training of employees or associated authors, and sustainability projects that promote a socially, environmentally or economically sustainable music industry. The grant amounts range from DKK 10,000 to DKK 50,000 per project, with a maximum of three grants per publisher per application round and a maximum of three grants per songwriter. Applications are submitted online via the Koda online grant portal, and a mandatory publisher presentation must be uploaded. The next application deadline is 11 February 2027 at 3 PM. The program is recurring, with a second deadline in August each year.
