About the Foundation

The purpose of the Foundation is to further and promote the performance, preservation, dissemination and public appreciation of serious music in general and the music and writings of Virgil Thomson in particular.

Please be advised that the Foundation is entering a "sunsetting" phase and will cease grantmaking activities following the 2013 round. For 2012 and 2013, grantmaking will be reduced substantially. Please read the guidelines carefully.

Grants are awarded once per year to publicly supported non-profit organizations that have a history of substantial commitment to serious music and are proposing a significant project involving the works of Virgil Thomson. For further information concerning grant proposals, please refer to the Guidelines page on this site.
