Middle School Music Grant - Peter R. Marsh Foundation Middle School Music Grant Purpose, Guidelines and Conditions Jan Greco jgreco@prmfoundation. org Shelly Peper mpeper@prmfoundation.
org The purpose of the Middle School Music Grant is to provide a remarkable venue and experience for students where their emotional senses are awakened and they are inspired to advance musically, scholastically and socially. The Grant Funds provide for the acquisition of in-school music classroom equipment and supplies. Grants are available, nationwide, to public middle school music teachers ("Grantees") in the United States.
The Grants are conditional as follows: The Music Grant Request Form, provided on this website, is to be completed and submitted by a middle-school music teacher only and who accepts the obligation to abide by the Guidelines and Conditions of this Music Grant. Music Grant Request Forms are accepted by the Foundation between July 1 st and January 31 st . Performances taking place prior to the Grant award date will not qualify.
Performances and Performance Reports must be completed by the end of your current academic year, or by June 15, whichever occurs first. The Foundation will notify the Grantee via email if/when their Music Grant Request has been approved.
Within 21 days thereafter a check will be made payable to the Grantee's school (in trust for the Grantee) and mailed to the attention of the Grantee at the school address provided on the Grant Request form. The Grant, in the amount of $1,250. 00, is limited to one middle-school music teacher per school, per school year.
Within the Music Grant Request Form, a Grantee can elect to apply for up to $600. 00 in supplemental funding if payment to transport their students to the senior facilities is mandated by their school district.
Within the Music Grant Request Form the Grantee determines and discloses how the funds will be used to enhance the teacher/student resources in their middle school music classroom(s) which benefit both current and future students. The Grantee's music class must consist of a minimum of 15 students.
The Grantee and their middle school music students (within grades 5-9 only) are to provide a minimum of three musical and visitation engagements to senior audiences. At least two of the engagements must take place at senior facilities (retirement communities, senior centers, care facilities, VA/VFW, etc.) in their local or nearby communities during the current school year.
At the Grantee’s discretion, one of the three required senior performances may be held at another venue, such as a veteran’s event at your school. Each engagement is to include the essential post-performance student/senior visitation period. Optimally, each of the Grantee's middle school music students (within grades 5-9) will participate in at least one performance, as performers or observers.
“ At first, I thought it was all about providing a good performance. It isn’t. It’s all about the post-performance engagement with the seniors.
” This teacher-quote correctly conveys that the senior audience will unconditionally embrace the presence of your students and shower them with praise and inspiration and do so without any reflection on the quality of the musical performance.
In arranging the music performances, the Grantee should share the objective of showering empathy and compassion upon the students with the Activities Director of each senior venue and encourage them to prepare their audience to fulfill this goal during the post-performance student/senior visitations. All communications between the Foundation and Grantee's will be by electronic email.
An automated "Confirmation" email will be sent to the Grantee immediately after a Grant Request has been received by the Foundation. It is imperative that the Grantee promptly acknowledges this Confirmation, which will affirm the Foundation's ability to communicate with the Grantee.
If the Confirmation email is undeliverable or diverted by the school's email server, or if the Grantee does not respond in a timely manner, the Grant Request will not be considered.
The compulsory "Grant Performance Report Form", essential to the Foundation's continuous governance, leadership, management, adjustment and improvement of the Middle School Music Grant Program, is to be submitted to the Foundation by the end of the Grantee’s academic year, or by June 15, whichever occurs first, after all required performances are completed.
Photos of the student/senior visitations and performances are required within the Grant Performance Report. The Foundation reserves the right to adjust the elements of this Middle School Music Grant program without prior notice.
Before completing a Grant Request Form, all applicants are encouraged to read the Music Grant Reviews and the Frequently Asked Questions posted on this website and the Foundation's Facebook page where several teachers share their past achievements and performance diversities of this Grant Program.
These accomplished teachers, who comprise the Foundation's de facto "Music Grant Advisory Committee", affirm that in-person student/senior visitation is of utmost importance to the development of the students, both as musicians and as compassionate citizens.

org Peter R. Marsh Foundation Music Grant: "We get to have the opportunity of performing for an appreciative audience. The students get the opportunity to visit with the seniors and make connections with them.
It's exciting that they look forward to these performances and are always asking when the next one is. It's rewarding for me to see some of the shy kids, who are very hesitant to start talking to people at first, come out of their shells and actually pull up a chair and end up talking at length to some of them." Peter R.
Marsh Foundation Music Grant: "I have two favorite moments from our concert events. One experience was especially memorable because the students truly didn’t want to leave. It was our first stop on the tour, and we stayed longer than planned because they were so engaged in their conversations.
I saw students who are typically withdrawn in social situations demonstrate real bravery by stepping out of their comfort zones and connecting with the residents. The second memorable moment took place when one of my students with Down syndrome approached a gentleman and simply stood looking at him. I happened to be standing nearby when this interaction took place.
He gently took her hands, and they shared a quiet moment, looking into each other’s eyes before she reached out and gave him a hug. It was a powerful example of genuine human connection. I have several choral students with special needs, including autism and Down syndrome, and each of them found a senior who took the time to truly see them and engage with them at their level.
These interactions were meaningful and affirming for our students in ways that are difficult to fully capture in words." Peter R. Marsh Foundation Music Grant: "Seniors loved having students come perform and really enjoyed getting a chance to chat and share with the students!
We have been adding a singalong section after students get a chance to engage with residents of the communities and it truly makes each of the residents' days!"

The National Leadership Grants for Libraries Program (NLG-L) supports projects that address critical needs of the library and archives fields and have the potential to advance practice and strengthen library and archival services for the American public. Successful proposals will generate results such as new models, tools, research findings, services, practices, and/or alliances that can be widely used, adapted, scaled, or replicated to extend and leverage the benefits of federal investment. Applications to IMLS should both advance knowledge and understanding and ensure that the federal investment made generates benefits to society. Specifically, the goals for this program are to generate projects of far-reaching impact that: • Build the workforce and institutional capacity for managing the national information infrastructure and serving the information and education needs of the public. • Build the capacity of libraries and archives to lead and contribute to efforts that improve community well-being and strengthen civic engagement. • Improve the ability of libraries and archives to provide broad access to and use of information and collections with emphasis on collaboration to avoid duplication and maximize reach. • Strengthen the ability of libraries to provide services to affected communities in the event of an emergency or disaster. • Strengthen the ability of libraries, archives, and museums to work collaboratively for the benefit of the communities they serve. Throughout its work, IMLS places importance on diversity, equity, and inclusion. This may be reflected in an IMLS-funded project in a wide range of ways, including efforts to serve individuals of diverse geographic, cultural, and socioeconomic backgrounds; individuals with disabilities; individuals with limited functional literacy or information skills; individuals having difficulty using a library or museum; and underserved urban and rural communities, including children from families with incomes below the poverty line.
