Applicants must be CMA organization-level members to apply to the following grant programs:
This program supports the creation and performance of ensemble works in the jazz idiom. It is funded through the generosity of the Doris Duke Charitable Foundation.
Eligible applicants are professional jazz ensembles led by (or including) a composer/performer. Ensembles must be CMA members at the Organization Level and consist of a core group (from two to ten musicians) with a demonstrated history of performing original music featuring jazz improvisation.
Grants range: up to $15,000 for the composition and performances of the new work.

The French-American Jazz Exchange was created by Chamber Music America, the French Embassy and the French American Cultural Exchange (FACE) to foster collaborative projects that unite French and American jazz artists. The program supports initiatives in both countries.
In forming international relationships, artists are encouraged to think beyond traditional boundaries. Collaborations with musicians who champion world, electronic, contemporary classical, or other genres are welcome.
Projects may include (but are not limited to) composition, touring, recording, and audience-development activities. Public performance is required, with the understanding that jazz speaks to diverse populations and experiencing music together bridges differences.
French and American citizens or legal residents are encouraged to apply.
Grant Range: Up to $10,000
