Bascom Little Fund Application
DEADLINE FOR APPLICATIONS: APRIL 22, 2016

2016 marks the 50th Anniversary of the Bascom Little Fund!  In helping us celebrate this milestone and all the creativity, ingenuity and wonderful music that has been supported and brought to life over the past half century, a number of proposals funded in last year's grant cycle showcase what the BLF has done for composers, their music, performers, our greater arts community and audiences.  We welcome further creative ideas from those who have not already scheduled celebratory programs, it is not too late to make such a proposal in the current cycle.

Composers must  reside in the Northeast Ohio region.

Applicant must have non-profit tax-exempt status or fiscal sponsorship

*The Bascom Little Fund does not fund the commission of new works.

Individuals, student ensembles, festivals and presenters without a core ensemble are not eligible. Requests from dance companies are eligible, but only for costs associated with live performances of music by Cleveland area composers.
