About the Presser Foundation: 

Founded in 1917, The Presser Foundation funded organizations focused on classical music and other forms of music derived from classical traditions.  Recently, the Foundation expanded the definition of its mission and guidelines to provide “funding for music organizations working in a broad range of traditions, genres, and styles.” This expanded definition includes funding for classical, hip hop, jazz, rock, country, music from different countries, and more.  

The expansion of the guidelines reflects the idea that people connect to different musical genres and traditions, while continuing to honor the wishes and donor intent of Theodore Presser, the founder of the Foundation. Learn more about The Presser Foundation at https://presserfoundation.org/
