Grant Opportunity: Deadline Feb 1
NAMM, the International
Music Products
Association is pleased to issue a "request for proposals" (RFPs) for
the 2006 Funding cycle.
We are seeking projects that can further NAMM's mission of creating
more active music makers.
To be considered for funding, programs must be duplicable, provide
measurable results, are intent to become self-sufficient within a
reasonable period of time, and should be designed to enhance or expand
the market for music products.
Targets
The 2006 Funding Cycle is seeking programs and initiatives
that focus
on:
Group music programs with non-performance based outcome goals
Group-based music programs facilitated within senior homes,
hospitals,
youth groups, parks, etc. which provide a positive music making
experience to all participants regardless of prior experience.
Integrated Music Making programs
Programs that train non-music educators to utilize basic music
making
to each other subjects such as math, history, world cultures, science,
literature, citizenships etc.
Programs that train music educators to supplement their
existing
programs with non-traditional methods, instruments or technologies
allowing them to teach music making to students who may not be
interested in the traditional band and orchestra approach.
Programs that train music educators to utilize group-based
informal
music making as an after-school youth development and/or community
building tool.
