Each year the Kurt Weill Foundation Grant Program awards financial support to not-for-profit organizations for performances of Kurt Weill's musical works, to individuals and not-for-profit organizations for scholarly research projects, and to not-for-profit organizations for educational initiatives directly related to Weill and/or Lotte Lenya.
Musical adaptations and proposals in which the music serves in an incidental or background capacity are not eligible for funding. Compilation properties consisting solely of Weill's songs do not qualify for support. Costs for new translations or adaptations of dramatic works are not eligible for funding (although the productions themselves may be). Proposals for retroactive funding of projects or performances will not be accepted. Except for applications requesting support for major professional productions/festivals/exhibitions (applicants may apply at any time), requests for funding must be submitted by the applicable grant deadline in the calendar year or academic year immediately preceding the event or project.
