Copland Fund for Music

The Copland Fund for Music is a nonprofit organization established in 1980 to support previously unperforming or underrepresented American contemporary classical compositions and composers. It provides financial grants to producers, organizations, and performers to help bring new and diverse American music to public audiences. By funding these projects, the fund aims to ensure that innovative American music remains a vital part of the cultural landscape and accessible for future generations. Its mission is to promote the creation, performance, and preservation of America's contemporary classical music heritage.
