New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Foundation Invites Grant Applications for Louisiana Arts and Culture Programs.
The Foundation works “to promote, preserve, perpetuate, and encourage the music, arts, culture, and heritage of communities in Louisiana through festivals, programs, and other cultural, educational, civic, and economic activities.”
The foundation annually reinvests the proceeds from Jazz Fest directly into Louisiana communities — in the form of grants to arts and educational organizations — to support projects that reflect the foundation’s mission.
The New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Foundation is now accepting grant applications in four categories–
- Jazz & Heritage After-School and Summer Education Programs in Music, Arts and Cultural Traditions. This category supports after-school and summer educational arts programs offered by nonprofit organizations and educational institutions. Organizations may apply for funding to pay the professional service fees of the artists or educators who will do the instruction.
- Jazz & Heritage In-School Education Programs in Music, Arts and Cultural Traditions. This category supports in-school music and arts education programs at Louisiana public K-12 schools. Schools may apply for funding to purchase or repair instruments and other supplies, or to cover part of an arts teacher’s salary.
- Jazz Journey Presenting: Festivals and Concerts in Music and Performing Arts. This category supports new employment for Louisiana performing artists by providing funding to nonprofit organizations that hire Louisiana musicians or other performing artists to perform at cultural events.
- Jazz & Heritage Archive: Documentation and Preservation. This category supports the creation or exhibition of art works that document or interpret the indigenous culture of Louisiana.
Eligibility-
For all grant categories, the maximum amount of a grant request is $5,000. All applicants must match Jazz & Heritage Foundation grant funding with other funds by a ratio of at least one to one.
