Ha!  Hilarious.  Getting college funding is the same (in the US).

My question is if you have a computer and a job what the hell do you need
money from some organization for?  I admit, it would be nice to have a fat
grant check to throw into some big project but it's not like you can't
make music without external funding.  I see a possible strain of hurt
pride throughout these kind of endeavors.  The "It's not fair" cry.  Do we
need recognition from some uptight farts that pretend they are being
charitable by giving money to orchestras?  Institutions have always been
years behind the emerging artforms.  It is their nature as bureacracies. 
Walls are torn down by visionaries and artists, institutions pick up the
rubble and build another wall.

just my humble opinion,
