The Writers Residency Grants, part of the Frank Young Fund for New Musicals, are an excellent supporting resource in cultivating artistic collaborations. Theatres may bring composers, lyricists, bookwriters, songwriters and other artists to your venues locally or work with a creative team virtually from all corners of the world. The Writers Residency Grants provide $500-$2,000 supplemental funds to not-for-profit NAMT members to work with writers on developing a new musical.

As we continue to navigate the challenges presented by the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, NAMT wants to encourage our members to continue developing new works during this challenging time. After careful consideration, we have decided to remove the COVID requirements for the Writers Residency Grant.

With the removal of the COVID guidelines, the application process remains largely unchanged. However, we have made updates to the project requirements. Please carefully review the updated project requirements before submitting your application. 

* Please note that you must be a member in good standing in order to receive a grant from the Frank Young Fund for New Musicals, with dues paid through the current fiscal year.
