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.
