The League of American Orchestras is pleased to announce the 2010-11 MetLife Governance Grants for board development.

Made possible by a generous grant from MetLife Foundation, the MetLife Governance Grants will provide financial support to orchestra boards to support the strengthening of their governance practice. As a precondition to the application process, orchestras must have completed the League/BoardSource Self-Assessment Tool, including receipt of the BoardSource analysis of the assessment results.

Awards in the $2,500 to $7,500 range will be awarded to five to seven orchestras. Those orchestras selected for the grants, via a competitive application process, will be informed by December 15, 2010. The activity supported by the grant must be completed no later than March 31, 2011, with a brief final report due to the League no later than April 15, 2011.
