Across the country, in towns and cities large and small, Levitt Music Series foster social cohesion and pride of place by creating welcoming community destinations. Levitt concerts feature a broad range of high-caliber programming and cultural celebrations for all to enjoy, from acclaimed, emerging talent to seasoned, award-winning artists on the local, regional, and national circuits. To support grantees in presenting dynamic concert series, the Levitt Foundation provides the Levitt Model framework, toolkits, resources and access to a network of committed changemakers to deepen impact in their communities.
The Levitt Foundation awards three-year matching grants of up to $40K per year, for a total grant award of up to $120K, to U.S.-based 501(c)(3) nonprofits to present the Levitt AMP, Levitt VIBE, or Levitt BLOC Music Series—7 to 10 free concerts each year that inject new life into public spaces and create vibrant community destinations. Reflecting our commitment that all Levitt projects be community-driven, the finalists are selected through public voting (online and text to vote). Applicants advancing to the public voting phase will receive a mini grant of $1,500 to support their efforts.
