2024 Seed Money Grant Application
The New York Women Composers' annual Seed Money Grant Program awards
grants of $1,000 U.S. Dollars (USD) each for concert projects that
include a substantial commitment to the performance of music by NYWC
members. (Note: This is not a commissioning grant.) Applicants may be
solo performers, ensembles, or presenting organizations.
The 2024 Receipt Deadline for grant applications is Friday, May 24,
2024. The applicant should submit a brief outline of their proposed
project, along with professional biographical and promotional materials,
including a headshot, and a sample sound recording. We require
electronic submissions so that all of the jury has immediate access.
Applications will be judged by the following criteria:
1. Project Visibility
2. Instrumentation (the grant committee tries to balance the variety of
instrumentation receiving awards each year.)
3. Quality of the performers, as evidenced by the selected sample
4. Concert length (we prefer concerts of a minimum of 1 hour)
5. Performing Rights Organizations licensing coverage for paid-admission
concerts
6. Community outreach potential
7. Qualified new applicants will receive preference over those who have
previously received New York Women Composers funding. No group or
individual performer will be funded in two consecutive years.
Please note: We encourage anyone not receiving a grant to re-apply, as
the needs of the organization, the number of grants that it is possible
to award, the instrumentation mix, the conditions of the grant, and the
members of the jury change from year to year.
