Funding Provisions
In general, most grants range between $1,000.00 and $5,000.
Eligibility Criteria
- Proposals may be submitted by non-profit professional or student performance ensembles, presenting institutions and non-profit or commercial recording companies.
- Projects sponsored by universities and similar educational institutions are not eligible. For instances in which a proposal is made in support of an independent professional ensemble in residence at a university, but the ensemble does not have separate 501(c)(3) status, the university may serve as the fiscal sponsor, but the applicant shall apply on behalf of the ensemble.
- Any applicant who, as of the deadline date, has one or more Recording Program grants that have been paid but that have not been released within two years after receiving funds will not be eligible to apply for a Recording Program grant, unless the applicant has received a written waiver from the Fund.
- Because this program is extremely competitive, the Fund will not accept multiple proposals in the same round from organizations other than recording companies.
What is eligible
- The Fund supports recordings by younger and relatively unknown, living American composers.
- Compositions for the proposed recording must be completed by the application deadline.
- Grants will not be made for the purpose of commissions to composers.
