Presenter Travel Fund

Program Update

(12.13.11)

The Presenter Travel Fund has been disbursed for the year, and NEFA is no longer accepting applications for the remainder of the fiscal year. The Presenter Travel Fund will accept applications after June 1, 2012.

About the Presenter Travel Fund

The Presenter Travel Fund provides monetary assistance to arts programmers or curatorial staff in New England so that they may investigate new or unfamiliar artists or ensembles.

Applicants may apply for funding to help cover the expense of attending festivals, showcases, conferences, or other cultural events where they can see artistic work that they may present in their own community. NEFA encourages applicants to seek out opportunities where multiple cultural events are taking place, so that they may experience as many performances and genres as possible.

Presenter Travel Fund Program Goals

• Broaden the experience and knowledge of New England arts programmers
• Increase the diversity of artists presented in the region

Eligibility

Any nonprofit, school, or government entity based in New England (Connecticut, Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Rhode Island, and Vermont) is eligible to apply for a Presenter Travel Fund grant. 

The nonprofit organization does not need to be an arts organization. An organization that does not have a federal tax identification number (such as a national historic park) may apply as long as it is part of an official government agency (such as the National Park Service).
