These grants provide financial support to orchestra boards to strengthen their governance practice. Awards of up to $3,500 will be made through a competitive application process. Applications are due December 3, 2015. This application requires completing a Board Source Board of Directors Self-Assessment Tool, which can take as long as two weeks to complete. Please begin the application process early in order to meet the deadline.
The activity supported by the grant must take place between January and September 15, 2016, with a brief final report due to the League no later than September 30, 2016.

The League of American Orchestras’ Noteboom Governance Center was created in recognition of former League Board Chair Lowell Noteboom, honoring his longstanding commitment to improving governance practice in American orchestras. The Center is supported by leadership gifts from Richard and Kay Fredericks Cisek, The Clinton Family Fund, Marcia and John Goldman, and the Sargent Family Foundation.
