The Presser Foundation Capital Support

The Trustees of The Presser Foundation created the Capital Support Committee in 1998 to consider requests for grants typically between $25,000 and $125,000 annually to support a capital project of a music organization which provides a broad range of classical symphonic, chamber, choral and/or vocal music.  The Presser Foundation does not support theater, commercial music theater, dance or other non-music focused venues.

Capital projects include the construction of new facilities and renovation, repair or expansion of existing facilities. It does not include grants to cover general operating expenses, equipment and musical instruments.

Proposals will be judged on:

• the strengths and accomplishments of the applicant organization;
• the relationship of the project to the applicant’s capabilities and to the needs of the community;
• the long term impact of the project on the applicant and the community; and
• the value and feasibility of the project.
