Grants for Musicians
The latest funding opportunities for musicians.
We are back with another highly requested playlist (our unique way of grouping grants) tailored specifically for musicians. We hope this makes finding funding even easier.
There are currently (5) grants listed.
Note: These grants have already been shared with our paid subscribers in our monthly newsletter (August 2025 and September 2025) and other playlists.
Bookmark this page as we will update this resource regularly.
Some of our other playlists include:
1. Bryn Du’s Artists in Residence
Bryn Du’s Artists in Residence will receive a $1,000 stipend for every 4 weeks of their stay on campus. It is expected that an artist will reside on site for 8 or 12 weeks. The residence program will provide an inspirational setting for the creation of artistic works by one artist at a time, across all disciplines. Not limited to those in the fields of visual arts, literature, music, theatre, fashion, dance, storytelling, and audiovisual studies. Artists are responsible for their own materials, food, etc.
Deadline: August 31, 2025
2. Visual Arts and Music Residency
Pioneer Works welcomes emerging artists and musicians who work outside existing models and “norms” of their field, offering a space to work, tools to create, and a platform to exchange ideas. Visual Arts artists-in-residence receive a one-time $2,500 financial award, and Music artists-in-residence receive $1,000. Housing, travel expenses, and visas are not offered. You do not have to be based in New York City to apply.
Deadline: August 31, 2025
3. The Jack Kent Cooke Young Artist Award - For Pre-Collegiate Musicians
This Award is given to driven and committed pre-collegiate musicians, ages 8-18, with financial need to help offset the often prohibitively expensive costs of studying classical music at a high level. This is a one-time, non-renewable, need-based grant of up to $10,000 given in conjunction with full participation in From the Top’s Learning and Media Lab Fellowship.
Deadline: September 1, 2025
