Deadline: 01-Sep-21
Applications are now open for the Farny R. Wurlitzer Foundation Fund to provide grants to nonprofit community organizations primarily in Illinois involving music education.
Priorities
FRWFF Board of Advisors believes that it is necessary to invest its limited funds where they will have the greatest impact on music education. Priority will be given to
- Promote and enhance organizations whose services benefit the residents of Illinois. Applicants that meet the criteria but are from the greater Chicagoland area outside Illinois will be considered if funding is available.
- Assist organizations to better respond to clearly defined unmet music education needs of underserved populations.
- Programs and projects that enhance cooperation and collaboration among organizations.
- Leveraging funds and in-kind support, such as using “seed” money, “match” and “challenge” grants and funds from multiple sources.
Projects generally not funded
While the FRWFF remains flexible in supporting music education, in general, FRWFF grants are not intended to support:
- Religious purposes (However, grants may be given to religious organizations for programs or projects that are consistent with the FRWFF grant priorities)
- Music performance not related to education
- Purchase of advertising
- Capital debt reduction or operation debt reduction
- Political campaign support or attempts to influence legislative issues of any government body
Eligibility Criteria
Preference is given to 501(c)3 organizations
