Music Education Partnership Grants

Join us for an informational webinar on Tuesday, September 26, 2023 at 2PM EST: Music Education Partnership Grants – Report Release & Updates.

We will be sharing application dates and process updates for the next Music Education Partnership Grants cycle, as well as stories and lessons learned during the first year of the grant program. Full guidelines on submitting an application for the 2024-25 and 2025-26 school years will be published on this site at the end of September.

Singing with others in a group is a powerful tool for cross-cultural learning, developing empathy, and building community. 

Chorus America invites nonprofit organizations to apply to the Music Education Partnership Grants program, which is designed to support collaborations between community organizations dedicated to choral singing and schools serving early childhood-12th grade.  

Multi-year grants will provide up to $50,000 USD over two years to support collaborations during the 2024-25 and 2025-26 school years. In addition to funding, all projects selected will participate in an online peer learning cohort.

Grants will fund programs and projects that aim to:

• Increase access to singing-based music education for students from historically marginalized communities, 
• Promote cross-cultural exchange and learning, and 
• Uphold the principles of access, diversity, equity, and inclusion.  

We encourage applicants to review the grant’s core values and guiding definitions to better understand the goals of this funding program.
