Eligibility and Geography
Applicants must be arts education nonprofit organizations with a process for identifying children or families who would benefit from financial assistance to participate in the organization’s programs. The program is not a scholarship program for individual applicants. The Foundation limits new grantmaking to a 50 mile radius of Lincoln, Massachusetts. Scholarship Fund recipients may receive grants for up to three years before taking a year off.
Eligible and Ineligible Uses

These awards are not scholarships made directly to individuals. The Foundation generally does not fund general operating expenses, endowments, sponsorship of performances, capital campaigns, or building funds.
Match or Cost Share
The public guidance reviewed does not state a mandatory applicant match or cost share.
