New Music USA recognizes that small, grass-roots or emerging organizations are an important part of the overall arts ecology and have much to offer, but may have limited access to corporate and foundation support. The Cary New Music Performance Fund provides general operating support to these professional music organizations and presenters in the five boroughs of New York City.

Organizations most likely to be supported are those that demonstrate excellence in innovative new music programming and/or performances consisting primarily of new music by living composers, improvisers, sound artists or singer/songwriters working in any style or genre. Grants through the Fund have enabled recipients to continue their commitment to new music by programming additional concerts, creating more energized and far-reaching publicity campaigns, and strengthening their commitment to creative artists.
