The Amphion Foundation aims to encourage the performance of contemporary concert music, particularly by American composers, through support to performing, presenting, and music service organizations.
The fall application cycle is open to presenters and music service organizations, including music service/advocacy organizations, professional development/training programs, artist residency programs, libraries and archives, radio and TV, presenters, and festivals. (The Foundation’s spring grant cycle supports performing organizations.)
General operating support is available for organizations with a history of substantial commitment to contemporary American concert music and plans to continue that commitment, while project support is available for exceptionally important activities relating to contemporary concert music that are out of the scope of an organization’s regular programming. Applicants must have 501(c)(3) nonprofit status (or the foreign equivalent) or have a fiscal sponsorship, and have two or more years of performance or program history as an organization.
