Composer Assistance Program

The fall 2011 deadline for the Composer Assistance Program has now passed (October 17, 2011). The next deadline is spring 2012. Please visit us again for application information and deadline.

About the Program:

Direct assistance is available to composers to help them realize their music in performance.

Grants are project-based. There must be a specific work (or works) associated with the request. There must also be a specific event associated with the work, such as a performance or reading.

A total of approximately $100,000 is awarded annually to composers through this program. The maximum one-time grant is $5,000. Most grants are between $1,000 and $2,000. Grants to a single composer are limited to a total of $10,000 during that composer’s lifetime.

AMC MEMBERSHIP IS NOT REQUIRED TO APPLY FOR A CAP GRANT.
