The Lewis Prize for Music announced that it is establishing a $1 million COVID-19 Community Response Fund to distribute over 20 one-time grants of $25,000 to $50,000 to youth-serving music programs that combine artistic training with access to mentorship, meals, transportation, mental health services, and housing for young people. Grants will be awarded to organizations that are showing responsive and adaptive leadership within their organization, community, and for their young people. The application will open on Monday, April 20 and close on Friday, May 8, with grants distributed on June 16. The Lewis Prize for Music is an annual award established by philanthropist and social impact investor Daniel R. Lewis to assist music programs and projects that seek to create more fair and vibrant communities. The Lewis Prize will open its annual Accelerator Award process in the summer following the distribution of grants from the COVID-19 Community Response Fund.
