Local Association Grant Program
The MTNA FOUNDATION awards grants to MTNA-affiliated local associations for projects that provide educational opportunities for students and teachers. Grants are also given for projects that support the promotion of music in the immediate community. In 2003 the first grant was awarded for a project that explores the teaching and dissemination of music from America’s subcultures and from indigenous cultures around the world. Matching grants are available for established associations. Start-up grants are available for associations in the process of being formed.
