Give a Musical Grant
The mission of the Give a Musical program is to support the creation, development, and/or enhancement of underfunded (or non-funded) high school musical theater programs in their early stage development OR the enhancement and improvement of an established program to serve a large number of students.
-
Guiding Principles
We believe all students should have equal access to creating theater, that large groups should benefit from grant funds, and that funds should reflect long-term investments in a program and not fleeting expenses. -
Who Can Apply?
Any adult charged with operating a high school musical theater program. If a school does receive funds, it is expected to join the PIA and fully participate in the awards program for at least two years. Annual dues will be waived.
