General Grants
for non-profit music organizations

The purpose of the BMI Foundation’s grants program is to further the creation, performance and study of contemporary music. There is an emphasis on classical, jazz, and the musical theatre genres and a preference for programs which directly involve living American composers. Funding decisions are made with the aid of the distinguished songwriters, composers and publishers who serve as the Foundation’s Advisory Panel.

Only not-for-profit 501(c)3 organizations may apply.

Applications are accepted only between January 1st and February 1st of each year. The postmark deadline is February 1st. Grant decisions are usually announced in June.
