NEW YORK OFFERS $500,000 IN GRANTS FOR WOMEN IN MUSIC

The New York Office Of Media And Entertainment (MOME) is offering $500,000 in grants to female-identified musicians and industry professionals.

MOME commissioner Anne del Castillo announced the creation of the new fund this week, which will be administered via the New York Foundation For The Arts. It’s not just meant for musicians, but for women who are involved in every step of the recording process, from sound engineers to producers. The call for applications opened yesterday, July 10th, and will close on October 1st.

There are a few stipulations which you can read up on in depth here: applicants cannot be represented by a recording label, for instance, and must reside within the five boroughs of New York City.
