New Music USA is supporting music in a new way. We want to create the shortest possible path between the people who make new music and the people who enjoy it. So we've reconfigured five of our past grant programs into a unified channel of support for a wide range of new music projects.* We believe in the artists we support, and we want everyone to hear their music. That's why we're building a new platform to help our funded artists promote themselves, and to help us promote all the projects we fund. Instead of filling out a grant application, you'll create a simple, private project page with all of your work samples and project information on this site. If your project is awarded, New Music USA will publish your project page. Once published, you'll be able to post updates as your project unfolds. The resulting collection of project activity will give site visitors an unmatched experience of the diversity and vitality of new music in the United States. This year, our project grants will award more than $600,000 to 100-150 projects, with awards ranging in size from $250 to $20,000. You can be sure that we always want to support as many great projects with as much money as we can.
