Projects will be primarily evaluated based on the feasibility of obtaining their expected benefits. Implementation, costs, and reporting strategies will be a large part of the evaluation process, too. Projects with lower funding requests will not be given preference. We want to fund the best, most impactful projects possible (up to $1,000, given available funding), not simply the least expensive; that being said, as part of our evaluation of your project’s costs, we will look for demonstrations of financial prudence.

 

As Music for the Mission continues to improve its fundraising efforts, we hope to award Mini-Grants more frequently than once a year. Currently, we do not have another disbursement date chosen, but we encourage you to stay tuned for updates from us about the next Mini-Grant application cycle.

​

All organizations, even those who have received a Mini-Grant in a previous cycle, are eligible to apply again. If you have received a Mini-Grant in the past, your organization will not be at a disadvantage compared to non-recipients; instead, we will evaluate each organization against one another and select those with the strongest proposals during a given cycle.

​

If your organization wants to apply for operating funds (e.g., a food pantry applying for support to bolster its inventory), we still encourage you to apply. We are open to any and all “projects”, but will give first priority to small, innovative projects because grants supporting those initiatives are less numerous.
