The Presenter Travel Fund is supported by funding from the National Endowment for the Arts Regional Touring Program and the six New England state arts agencies.
 

ABOUT 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.

The goals of Presenter Travel Fund are to…

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

 

ELIGIBILITY

Any nonprofit organization with IRS 501(c)(3) designation based in a New England state - Connecticut, Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Rhode Island, or Vermont – is eligible to apply for Presenter Travel Fund.

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).
