Tri-M Foundation Announces Recipients Of The Performing Arts Grant Program

Tri-M Foundation has announced the recipients for the first two cycles of its Performing Arts Grant program. Launched in 2020, the Performing Arts Grant program supports the development and presentation of innovative, high-quality performing arts projects, events, and festivals by regional non-profit arts organizations. Dozens of arts organizations submitted an on-line application, and nine were awarded across the two funding cycles.

"We were a little apprehensive when the grant program went live on the website and didn't know if anyone would actually apply," said Zachary Christman, president of the Tri-M board of directors. "The response was tremendous though, which made funding decisions difficult."

Awards ranged from $3,000 to $10,000 each. To learn more about the Performing Arts Grant program, performing arts organizations with an active 501(c)(3) should visit the website (www.tri-m.foundation). The application deadline for the next round of funding is February 15, 2022.
