Grant Priorities
FRWFF Board of Advisors believes that it is necessary to invest its limited funds where they will have the greatest impact on music education. Priority will be given to:

- Assist organizations to better respond to clearly defined unmet music education needs of underserved populations
- Programs and projects that enhance cooperation and collaboration among organizations
- Leveraging funds and in-kind support, such as using “seed” money, “match” and “challenge” grants and funds from multiple sources.
Ineligibility
While the FRWFF remains flexible in supporting music education, in general, FRWFF grants are not intended to support:
- Religious purposes
- Music performance not related to education
- Purchase of advertising
- Capital debt reduction or operation debt reduction
- Political campaign support or attempts to influence legislative issues of any government body.
