The Lewis Prize For Music Launches COVID-19 Community Response Fund
In light of the impact of COVID-19, The Lewis Prize for Music has committed to awarding $1 million in grants to Creative Youth Development (CYD) leaders and music programs to support their responsive and adaptive efforts in these difficult times.
CYD organizations uniquely act as a critical part of the social fabric devoted to supporting young people’s creative and material well being. By combining artistic training with access to mentorship, meals, transportation, mental health services and even housing, CYD providers are practiced at meeting the immediate and unique needs of young people.
