The New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Foundation will hold an informational workshop to explain the guidelines and procedures for the 2011-2012 Community Partnership Grants cycle.
Date: Monday, Aug. 22
Time: 6:00 p.m. to 7:30 p.m.
Location: The Jazz & Heritage Gallery, 1205 N. Rampart St. (map)
The informational workshop will be held on Monday, Aug. 22, from 6 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. at the Jazz & Heritage Gallery, 1205 N. Rampart Street.
Staff from the Jazz & Heritage Foundation will be on hand to explain the application process for the currently open categories in the Foundation’s Community Partnership Grants program. This is a great opportunity to ask questions about how particular projects may or may not fit within the grant guidelines.
The categories now open include two for education – including a new category to support arts education in public schools – and one for nonprofit presenters of cultural events.
The two education categories are:
• Jazz & Heritage After-School and Summer Education Programs in Music, Arts and Cultural Traditions. This category, which has been awarded in years past, supports after-school and summer educational arts programs offered by nonprofit organizations and educational institutions.
• Jazz & Heritage In-School Music & Arts Education is a new offering from the Jazz & Heritage Foundation. This category, now in its second year, supports in-school music and arts education programs at public elementary, middle and high schools in the greater New Orleans region. Schools may apply for funding to purchase or repair instruments and other supplies, or to cover part of a teacher’s salary.
The third category that is now open for applications – the one for nonprofit presenters of cultural events – is called Jazz Journey Presenting: Festivals and Concerts in Music and Performing Arts. This category is open nonprofit organizations that hire Louisiana musicians or other performing artists to perform for the public.
The application deadline for all three grant categories is 5 p.m. on Tuesday, Sept. 6, 2011. That is the time by which applications must be received at the Jazz & Heritage Foundation office.
Copies of the grant guidelines and application forms are available online at the Community Partnership Grants web site, and from the Foundation office.
