Musicians Foundation provides financial assistance to professional musicians in times of need. Musicians Foundation was established in 1914 to support performers, composers, and educators in times of need, crisis, and transition. Eligible musicians throughout the country receive grants up to $3,000 to help pay essentials, like rent and mortgage bills, medical and dental treatments, and natural disaster recovery costs. In a time when artists are experiencing more instability than ever before, Musicians Foundation continues to serve as a vital safety net for those who have given their lives to music. As the oldest nonprofit of its kind in the United States, the Foundation is dedicated to providing life-changing financial relief so musicians in all genres can continue their artistic pursuits.
