Description
The Allegro Fund is a fund of The Dayton Foundation that provides grants to performing arts organizations for dance, theater, and music. Dedicated to the memory of Hermene Louise Schwarz, a pioneer in Dayton’s performing arts education, the fund places community enrichment at the center of its grantmaking.
The fund favors organizations that collaborate with other groups, projects that use residencies or guest artists, and performances that engage the community. It operates within The Dayton Foundation’s broader support for nonprofit organizations serving Greater Dayton. Foundation funds administer their own grant programs, each with separate application guidelines and deadlines.
