Levitt Music Series Grants are an exciting, multi-year matching grant program bringing the joy of free, live music to towns and cities across the country. Each Levitt Music Series location presents 7-10 free outdoor concerts per year that inject new life into underused public spaces, creating joyous, inclusive community destinations. For the 2026–2028 grant cycle, the Levitt Foundation will be awarding matching grants of up to $40K per year (up to $120K over three years) to 501(c)(3) nonprofits throughout the country to present free outdoor concerts, featuring high-caliber artists and a range of music genres, in their communities.

Reflecting the Foundation’s commitment that all Levitt programs be community-driven, the finalists—50 Levitt AMP, VIBE, and BLOC proposals from across the nation, and an additional 6 Levitt AMP proposals from Tennessee through our partnership with the Tennessee Entertainment Commission—were selected through public voting from September 5-15, 2025, both online and via text. Thank you to everyone who voted!
