The Education In-School Grant, offered by the New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Foundation, is designed to bolster music and arts education within Louisiana K-12 schools. This grant directly aligns with the foundation's mission by funding instruction in music and art, both during the regular school day and after-school, supporting cultural enrichment and educational access in the arts. The grant specifically targets public and private K-12 schools in all parishes of Louisiana, aiming to empower them to provide robust arts programs. The primary goal of this grant is to enhance the quality and accessibility of music and art education for K-12 students in Louisiana. The program prioritizes funding for essential resources such as instruments, instrument repair, sheet music, and visual art supplies, which are crucial for effective arts instruction. It also supports the engagement of visiting teaching artists or clinicians and covers bus transportation costs for students participating in school arts programs. Furthermore, the grant can be utilized for after-school or summer instruction delivered on school premises, expanding opportunities for students to engage with the arts beyond regular hours. The New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Foundation's strategic priority through this grant is to ensure that Louisiana's youth have continuous access to quality arts education, fostering creativity and cultural appreciation from a young age. The theory of change underpinning this initiative is that by providing direct financial support for resources, instruction, and programmatic activities, schools will be better equipped to offer comprehensive and engaging music and art programs. This, in turn, will lead to increased student participation, improved artistic skills, and a greater appreciation for cultural heritage. Expected outcomes include an increase in the number of students participating in music and art programs, an enhancement in the quality and variety of arts instruction available in Louisiana schools, and a reduction in financial barriers for schools seeking to implement or expand their arts curricula. While specific measurable results are not explicitly detailed beyond the types of items funded, the implicit measurable results would include the number of instruments purchased or repaired, the quantity of art supplies acquired, the number of teaching artist visits, and the number of students transported or participating in funded programs, all contributing to the broader goal of fostering a vibrant arts education landscape across the state. The maximum grant request is $7,500, with a grant period for activities occurring between September 1, 2024, and August 31, 2025.
