The Gewirtz Fund’s mission is to inspire young students to deepen their connection with string music.
The Gewirtz Fund will make discretionary grants to programs and initiatives that will have the greatest impact on non-profit music programs throughout the United States. Grants will be awarded throughout the year based on available funding, requests, and greatest impact.
Eligibility Criteria
- String education must be a key component of any music program requesting funds.
- Public or charter schools or non-profit/501(c)(3) programs directly funding string education, serving grades 5-12 regardless of their ability to pay, should apply.
- Schools and programs must already have an existing music program/curriculum in place.
Examples of What They Would Fund
Grants are made by the trustees on a discretionary basis and they might fund repair of instruments, restringing of bows, specialized tutoring and other priorities that music teachers have but may not be funded by their school districts. They fund “moments that matter” that improve the connection between youths and string music.
