Grant Application Process

The O’Donnell-Green Music and Dance Foundation announces the next annual round of a commissioning program to support collaborations between choreographers and composers, culminating in presentations of new music and dance to be presented in live performance during the upcoming calendar year. The program is open to dance companies in the tri-state region of New York, New Jersey, and Connecticut, who may apply for one of 12-20 grants generally ranging from $5,000 to $30,000 each (with an average amount of $15,000).
