The GRAMMY Foundation® Grant Program is generously funded by The Recording Academy®. To date, the Program has awarded close to $5.8 million to more than 300 noteworthy projects. The Grant Program provides funding annually to organizations and individuals to support efforts that advance the archiving and preservation of the recorded sound heritage of the Americas for future generations, as well as research projects related to the impact of music on the human condition. In 2008 the Grant Program expanded its categories to include planning grants for individuals and small- to mid-sized organizations to assist collections held by individuals and organizations that may not have access to the expertise needed to create a preservation plan.

Coordinate two of the Foundation's programs awarding grants and/or other recognition: The Grant Program and the new Music Educator of the Year award program. Additionally, provide support to core education and preservation programs and events as required.

Grant Program Responsibilities (Work closely with the Director on the following):
1. Coordinate the process for soliciting grant applications, receiving, reviewing and monitoring grant applications.
2. Prepare materials for peer review and committee meetings including coordinating communication with peer reviewers and committee members in order to facilitate smooth review process and determination of award recipients (i.e., solicit participation from past reviewers/members).

Project Description Ugandan video halls (or "bibanda") are often no more
than small huts where viewers pay a few cents to watch pirated DVDs on
television screens. Located in the majority of villages and towns
throughout Uganda, they are the only form of popular visual entertainment
and have a wider audience than television and newspapers combined. Numbering
in the thousands, these bibanda reach millions of Ugandans each month.
So-called 'fine art' never broached their corrugated walls. Until now.

Just came across this lovely blog.
