Music for Everyone!

Through its “Music for Everyone!” initiative, the Federal Music Association for Choirs and Orchestras (BMCO) supports new extracurricular music projects for children and young people ages 3 to 18 who have previously had limited access to music. These include, for example, ensemble, rhythm, and musical theater projects, summer programs, and other creative music formats. The projects are developed through local partnerships involving at least three organizations. Eligible applicants include nonprofit associations, gUGs, and gGmbHs, as well as independent, municipally funded institutions with their own budgets. Schools and daycare centers may participate as partnership members but cannot submit an application. Depending on the combination of modules and the project duration, grants ranging from €2,500 to €50,000 can be requested. Fees, expense reimbursements, and material costs are fully funded; no matching funds are required.
