College/University and Amateur Performance Grant

About this program

The Kurt Weill Foundation for Music provides grants of up to $15,000 to support colleges, universities, and amateur performing arts organizations in producing stage and concert works by Kurt Weill and Marc Blitzstein. Funding covers general production and musical expenses for performances adhering to original versions and orchestrations, with applications due November 1st and June 1st annually. Eligible applicants include not-for-profit institutions, with a focus on productions primarily featuring student casts and orchestras, though limited professional involvement may be considered. Proposals must include a detailed project description, budget, and proof of not-for-profit status, and applicants are encouraged to discuss their ideas with the Foundation prior to submission.
