Grant Opportunity for Wisconsin School Jazz Programs x


Madison Jazz Society (MJS) will award grants on a competitive basis to school jazz centered programs in Wisconsin this October. Grant proposals may include, but are not limited to, purchasing instruments and equipment, sheet music, play-along


CDs, books or videos and, to a lesser extent, clinics and hiring of guest artists. Final selection will be based partly on which proposal(s) provides the opportu- nity for the greatest number of students to learn about and/or participate in jazz related activities. Grant requests must be limited to $500 per project to help MJS


assist as many schools and projects as pos- sible. MJS members are available to serve as docents to participate in the conduct of approved projects. Schools can also join together to submit a joint application for funding. The application deadline is October 1. For more information, go to madisonjazz.com/about/school-grants.
