Jazz Road Tours Grant 2025 By South Arts
Jazz Road Tours supports three- to six-site tours at an array of venue types, often in rural communities and other areas traditionally underserved by the genre.
This artist-centric grant program—designed to support approximately 50 tours each year—is made possible with funds from the Doris Duke Foundation with additional support from the Mellon Foundation.
MAXIMUM REQUEST: Grants range from $5,000 to $15,000 to cover eligible expenses. As of January 2024, South Arts has added childcare as an eligible expense that can be requested as part of the available $2,500 available for non-musician personnel expenses.
APPLICATION DEADLINES: For tours taking place between July 1, 2025 – January 1, 2026, the deadline is March 5, 2025. For tours taking place between October 1, 2025 – April 1, 2026, the deadline is June 4, 2025.
