Funding pipeline
Grants StageFound is pointing at
StageFound stays free for artists because donations and grants cover the room, the rig, and the staff. Every grantmaker on this page is a real candidate for the StageFound funding pipeline — and each funder has its own eligibility rules. Some are open to 501(c)(3) organizations only; others (BMI included) accept applications via an established fiscal sponsor. StageFound is pursuing both paths. Tax-deductible giving is pending fiscal-sponsor confirmation.
Before applying
How we meet each funder's prerequisites.
Some of these funders are open only to 501(c)(3) organizations; others will work with us through an established fiscal sponsor. Tax-deductible giving through that sponsor is pending confirmation — donations are still how we keep the room open in the meantime.
