Music Drives Us is pleased to announce that the new grant cycle for this year will open on May 1st, 2017. The Music Drives Us grants provide opportunities for aspiring musicians who are in need of funding. Applicants can apply online for either a Performance Grant or an Organizational Grant of up to $10,000.

At Music Drives Us, we strongly believe that everyone deserves the chance to become extraordinary, and monetary restrictions should not interfere with this dream. We look forward to reading about your musical pursuits in 2017! 

Music Drives Us is excited to join forces with “ArtWeek” to provide five individual performers with $1,000 grants. These funds will be put towards their performances during the ArtWeek celebrations in the Greater Boston Area this spring.
 
As part of our mission, Music Drives Us strives to support musicians who have a passion for the shared musical performance experience. Throughout New England, talented musical groups are struggling to find the monetary means to bring their music to interested listeners through complimentary concert series in schools, afterschool programs, and public town spaces.

Music Drives Us will work with the selected grant recipients to underwrite a program that, through our funding, compensates them for their time and expenses. In order to be eligible for a grant, the individual must:

• Provide a performance in the Greater Boston Area between April 28 and May 7
• Provide complimentary access to his/her performance for all patrons
• Include a musical education component to his/her performance​
