Eligibility

Project grants offer project-specific funding to individuals and organizations.

Description

We are open to a huge range of new music projects. A "project" to us means any activity that involves new music getting out into the world through a live performance or recording. Projects can take place up to two years past the deadline (January 2021) or retroactively up to the previous deadline. Requests can come from individuals or organizations. We understand that creative people often undertake many projects simultaneously, which is why we allow individuals and organizations to take part on multiple projects per deadline. While you are allowed to submit multiple projects for consideration, please keep in mind that by doing so you are essentially putting those projects in competition with each other. In the interest of spreading our resources to as many deserving artists as possible, it is less likely that a given individual or organization will receive multiple awards. Please use your best judgement when deciding whether to submit multiple projects.We're especially interested in having our funds go towards paying artists directly for their work; whether that's creating, engaging, performing, or something else. We place special emphasis on funds towards:
- The creation of new musical work
- New live music for dance
- Recording costs
- Residency and community outreach activitiesThe most competitive projects are those that include specified living composers and recent music. Eligibility Project grants offer project-specific funding to individuals and organizations.
