IBMA International Band Performance Grant Program

APPLICATIONS NOW CLOSED

The 2023 application for the IBMA International Band Performance Grant is open until December 23, 2022.

The program is open to all non-U.S. bluegrass acts who wish to participate in IBMA World of Bluegrass®  (September 26-30, 2023 in Raleigh, NC). Led by the generous matching donation of Paul and Alys Schiminger, the IBMA International Band Performance Grant Program will provide financial assistance to bands traveling to IBMA World of Bluegrass and help to establish a 2024 follow-up tour in the United States. Additionally, IBMA will be creating more performance opportunities for international bands at IBMA World of Bluegrass, including a stage in the new International Pavilion.

IBMA seeks to raise matching funds up to $50,000 to award to future recipients of the grant. To learn more, read our press release or Paul’s letter.
