Organizations are selected based on the following criteria:  Appropriate size and stage of development: Prospective grantee partner’s annual budget should not exceed $200,000. In most cases, new grantee partners have budgets in the $25,000 to $75,000 range.

Foundation does not support groups engaged exclusively in advocacy or research.  Capable management: Grantee partners must have systems and processes for ensuring responsible management of funds. At a minimum, an organization must have basic accounting and reporting systems as well as phone and email access.  Local leadership: Grantee partners must be led by individuals who live and work in the community.

NEW!! The Country Music Association Foundation Supports Quality Musical Education and Educators. The Country Music Association (CMA) Foundation supports quality music education for every child. The Foundation’s top funding priorities include:  Student Achievement and Participation: The CMA Foundation believes that investing in the next generation through music is an additional pathway for success during a child’s K-12 tenure because music education bolsters student engagement and academic achievement. The Foundation’s investments focus on sequential learning opportunities, improving student outcomes and increasing participation.  Public-Private Collaboration: The Foundation invests in partnerships between schools and community organizations that work together to solve challenges facing the students being served. These unique partnerships use continuous learning approaches and innovative teaching practices to best meet the needs of the community being supported through music. Collaborative efforts should be addressing quality of music instruction or curriculum, retention of students participating in music, increased participation in music offerings, etc. All efforts aim to improve student achievement.  Music Education Innovation: As the needs of students and teachers evolve, teaching practices and offerings are often slower to transition forward. The CMA Foundation values innovative teaching models, offerings, and programs that increase student participation in music beyond the traditional music education curriculum (band, choir, and orchestra). Music technology has also been an area of opportunity and need through many of the foundation’s innovative investments.  Music Educator Support: Investing in professional development is vital to the CMA Foundation. Without effective teachers and leaders to support students, quality music programs are not able to thrive. The foundation supports organizations and programs that prepare music educators and school leaders to better serve the needs of their students. Grant Amount: Grants of up to $20,000 are available. Eligibility: In order to be eligible, an applicant organization must be an organization that is exempt from taxation under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code (“IRC”), and not a private foundation as described in IRC Section 509(a).
