gov The FY 2026 American Music Mentorship Program (AMMP) cooperative agreement will implement a mentorship exchange pairing international mid-career music industry professionals who manage, produce, distribute, and promote music - with U.S. music industry mentors. Rather than focusing solely on performers, AMMP aims to strengthen music industry infrastructure and create pathways that expand global market access for American music.
AMMP’s FY 2026 theme, Made in America: Influence and Innovation of the American Music Industry , emphasizes commercial and creative development through residencies and training to strengthen participants’ capacity to effectively partner with American creative industries.
The program fosters professional development, knowledge sharing, and new industry pathways such as licensing, co-production, and distribution to position the American music sector as a platform for innovation and cross-border collaboration, underscoring its role as a driver of American economic growth and cultural influence.
Mentees from three to five countries will participate in a two-week U.S. residency followed by monthly virtual sessions with American music industry mentors over approximately 10 to 12 months to sustain collaboration. Through curated mentorships these professionals will gain access to the U.S. music industry, enhance technical and business skills, and build lasting networks.
Mentees will engage with experts from small companies, independent labels, and larger businesses during the residency, participating in workshops, forums, collaborations, and site visits. An outbound component will send approximately 10 U.S. mentors and instructors overseas for approximately one week to engage with local music industries, expand networks, and share best practices.
AMMP is implemented through a public-private partnership between the U.S. Department of State’s Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs (ECA) and a leading private sector organization in the U.S. music industry. This collaboration combines U.S. government leadership in cultural diplomacy with industry expertise to advance innovation and global engagement in the U.S. creative industries.
The private sector partner leads recruitment and selection of U.S. mentors from its membership and provides access to creative, business, and technical leaders, while ECA provides strategic oversight and ensures alignment with U.S. foreign policy objectives.
The FY 2026 award recipient will serve as the implementing partner, managing program logistics, coordinating activities, and facilitating mentorship exchanges in close collaboration with both partners. The award recipient must manage complex logistics, strict timelines, private sector partner and participant needs, program promotion, and share updates with all stakeholders.
