What the grants can support

The Recording Support Grant can help with studio time, production, mixing, mastering and other recording-related expenses. Applicants can be working on music that is already written, actively being recorded, or moving into post-production.

The Touring Support Grant can help cover travel, lodging and other expenses tied to live performances. The foundation says some grants may be partial awards focused on a specific part of a project or tour.

Who is eligible

Key eligibility requirements

  • 18 or older
  • Based in the United States
  • Receive at least 75% of income from music
  • Actively working as a professional musician or group
  • Maintain an active professional online presence
  • Have not received more than one Faith in Music Foundation grant in the past 12 months

Applicants are asked to provide a project overview, professional background and budget documentation. The application can be saved and completed over time.

EV take: this is most relevant to artists who already have an active recording or touring plan and can clearly explain where the money would go. A simple, realistic budget will matter more than inflated ambitions.
