The League of American Orchestras is pleased to announce the 2011-12 MetLife Governance Grants for Board Development. Made possible by a generous grant from MetLife Foundation, the MetLife Governance Grants will provide financial support to orchestra boards to support the strengthening of their governance practice.
Awards ranging from $2,500 to $7,500 will be given to up to seven orchestras. Those orchestras selected for the grants, via a competitive application process, will be informed by November 15, 2011. The activity supported by the grant must be completed no later than March 31, 2012, with a brief final report due to the League no later than April 16, 2012.
As a precondition to the application process, orchestras must have completed the League’s Board of Directors Self- Assessment Tool. Complete it here >>
Organizations must file a written application with the League (see below) and complete a brief narrative describing the results of the board self-assessment, their priorities for board development, the related action steps, the expected short and long term impact, and how the results of the work will be measured.
Previous recipients of the MetLife Governance Grants for Board Development may not re-apply.
