Grass Roots Grant Program

The MusicLink Foundation values the commitment of our alliance organizations whose teachers volunteer instructional time to the program and the dedication of coordinators who volunteer their time to work as liaisons between schools, organizations, families, and students. The MusicLink Foundation's Grass Roots Grant Program is designed to assist these alliance organizations or MusicLink teacher studios by providing a grant of up to $500 to assist with expenses that will provide support for new programs, expanding programs, or specific projects. Grass Roots Grants cannot be used for teacher tuition costs.

  • start-up funding for a new MusicLink program
  • expansion of an existing MusicLink program
  • creating a new project to expand opportunities for MusicLink students
  • costs for instruments*, piano moving, materials, music for MusicLink students
  • other expenses for students or program administration

Report: A report will be due six months from the date of receiving the grant, providing the MusicLink Foundation with a brief progress report and specific details of how these funds were used in your organization.

* Instruments purchased with MusicLink grant funds will remain the property of the MusicLink Foundation for 3 years of a continuous MusicLink program. After that date, they will become the property of the local program. If the program is discontinued before the 3 years, the instruments will be returned to the MusicLink Foundation for use by another local program.

  1. Applications accepted October 15th, February 15th, and June 15th.
  2. An organization or MusicLink teacher may only apply once within a 12 month period.
