1. [NEW] Musicians Foundation Grant - For Professional Musicians

This opportunity is for one-time financial assistance grants. Applicant must be a professional music performer, composer/arranger, or educator in a specific time of need caused by an unexpected hardship (e.g., medical or dental situation, natural disaster, or certain housing crisis).

You must have worked as a professional musician in the United States for five (5) or more years, currently reside in the U.S., have filed taxes as a musician for five (5) or more years, and be able to provide a copy of a recently completed tax return. Funding depends on the specific bill the applicant needs to pay.

These grants are sent as vendorized checks made directly to the biller (doctor, hospital, dentist, landlord, mortgage company, utility provider, etc.). The grant is mailed to your home address, and then you must deliver it to the biller (to whom the check is made out). This way, you know when the grant arrives and can be sure it is properly applied to the bill being paid.

Deadline: Rolling

Apply to this opportunity.
