Description
The Concert Artists Fund at the Vermont Community Foundation supports organizations presenting classical music performances in Chittenden County. Created in 2005 from the estate of Charles Goetz, the fund is exclusively dedicated to the arts. Its focus is on public performances rather than music education or other programming.
The fund values artistic quality, the presenting organization’s ability to deliver the proposed performances, and clear plans to reach a broad audience, including underserved populations. It welcomes collaborations and unique partnerships that result in excellent programming. Applicants are also evaluated on whether their budgets are reasonable and appropriate and whether they can raise the resources needed to carry out the project.
