Step 1: Qualify

About the grant application

We underwrite these benefit concerts investing a great deal of our time and money so you don’t have to. Because we can only award a handful of grants, we carefully review each applicant’s mission and past events before awarding a grant.

Who qualifies

Most legitimate charities and nonprofits are eligible however, preference is giving for live-saving organizations, educational charities, plus military and first responder groups.

How it happens

Click the “Apply for Grant” button, complete a short questionnaire, and our committee will review it and get back to you as soon as possible. If you are awarded a benefit concert for a specific date we will send you an agreement with all the details, and we will ask for a modest refundable date hold deposit before getting to work on your event.
