How to apply
We want to hear from you.
Grant applications may be submitted from May 1 through
August 31 though we reserve the right to consider applications before or after
those dates. Applications should be sent in a single PDF file to Applications@MiamiSalonGroup.org.
The applications are read by a committee of our members who
decide which groups will receive awards and the amounts to be granted. We favor
performance groups – music, dance, theater though we consider others. Grants
are typically $3,000–$6,000. Award notifications are normally made in October.
We are called Miami Salon Group because we require grantees
to make a brief presentation at one of our monthly meetings. Our meetings are
at 5 PM on the first Sunday of the month from November through May. At the
time of grant notification, we will tentatively set the date for your in-person
presentation to our group though we are flexible and will work with you.
The most successful presentations are short on talk and instead
display your group's artistic skills. Remember, it is our practice that members
often make individual gifts that are bundled with our group donation.
The grants are funded solely by donations of our members, no
public funds are involved. Our members may, from time-to-time, visit grant
applicants paying for tickets or admission as applicable. We do not accept free
tickets or admission.
Your performance/exhibition must take place in Miami-Dade
or Broward Counties.
Please edit your submissions very carefully. Some of our
members were English teachers, lawyers, or editors.
