The Presser Foundation Announces More Than $1.35 Million in General Operating Support Grants to Music Organizations
The grants provide both single year and multi-year support and can be used in any way that the leadership deems fit. The Presser Foundation is proud to support these organizations, which significantly contribute to music and the arts in Greater Philadelphia.
William B. McLaughlin, III, Chair of the Advancement of Music Committee, commented, “While the COVID-19 pandemic continues to cause stress on musical institutions, The Presser Foundation is inspired by so many musical organizations which have adapted to their current circumstances and innovated to deliver music programming. They are collaborating with many partners and have a greater connection with their audiences and participants across the country and world. The Foundation is honored to provide general operating support to 109 organizations, the most it’s ever given to, that are essential to the communities and audiences they serve.”
