Made Possible by the

Ann and Gordon Getty Foundation

About the Event

The American Orchestras’ Futures Fund is a competitive grants program designed to advance the innovative work of the League of American Orchestras’ member orchestras. Made possible through the generous support of the Ann and Gordon Getty Foundation and administered by the League, the Futures Fund builds on the results of earlier League-sponsored and Getty-funded grants to orchestras. The Foundation’s generous support of the Futures Fund allows the League to provide larger, multi-year grants for American orchestras of all sizes as they work to increase their investment in experimentation, risk taking, and innovative practices, and contribute to field-wide learning.

The primary goal of the Futures Fund is to encourage a culture of learning and innovation in orchestras of all sizes, structures, and locations. Toward this end, the Futures Fund offers two-year grants to a select number of orchestras that are making investments in innovation and exploring new ways of working that demonstrate impact within the organization and its audiences and communities.

Join us on Friday, June 18 to hear from and learn about orchestras that have been adapting to thrive in this pandemic year at the Futures Fund Forum.
