Philadelphia Music Project Announces Application Guidelines
Deadline: September 15, 2010 (Letter of Intent)

The Pew Center for Arts & Heritage Philadelphia Music Project is designed to foster artistic excellence and innovation in the greater Philadelphia-area’s nonprofit music community. The project meets this objective by supporting commissions and productions of new works, presentations of large-scale or long-neglected works, interdisciplinary collaborations, and similar programmatic enhancements.

The program funds projects that will expand the current musical activities and advance the long-term artistic development of the applicant organization. Projects must culminate in public performances in the five-county greater Philadelphia region.

Professional nonprofit music performing and presenting organizations are eligible to apply. “Professional” organizations are those with paid artists/artistic staff; “nonprofit” organizations are those recognized by the IRS as having 501(c)(3) status; and “music” organizations (or programs/departments of larger organizations) are those whose purpose is the production or presentation of musical works.

Organizations must officially reside (i.e., maintain a physical office) in the five-county Philadelphia area (Philadelphia, Bucks, Chester, Delaware, and Montgomery counties) and be registered with the Bureau of Charitable Organizations of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. An applicant organization must have been in operation for at least two years prior to the letter of intent deadline.

Organizations representing all musical idioms are eligible to apply.

Grants of up to $200,000 each will be awarded.
