Offered by Alabama Power Foundation
Who can apply
Alabama K-12 schools, 501(c)(3) organizations and educators, applying to expand a student programme. This is an institutional and educator grant for student music, arts or athletics programmes, not funding for an individual musician own work. All three programme types share a single application cycle.
About this opportunity
Power to Play is Alabama Power Foundation's small grant for Alabama schools building out student programmes in music, arts or athletics, with one shared application covering all three. On the music side, the money can go toward starting a programme from scratch, buying instruments, sheet music or uniforms, covering entry fees for competitions and festivals, funding educator professional development, or picking up recording and production technology. It's aimed at institutions and educators rather than individual musicians: a school, an educator, or a 501(c)(3) serving K-12 students applies, and someone wanting support for their own music should look elsewhere. Title I schools, and schools where at least half the students qualify for free or reduced-price meals, get priority. Awards top out at $2,500, paid to the school or organisation rather than to a person, with no stated requirement to match the funds with other money. Applying is a single online form through the Foundation's grants portal, and recipients are expected to file a six-month update and a final report on how the money was used. The Foundation's own materials give two different years for the next cycle's late-July-to-late-August window, so the exact dates are worth confirming on the live application portal rather than assuming either one before you prepare to apply.
