Fondation Francis et Mica Salabert supports contemporary musical creation and the scholarly preservation of French musical heritage. It funds a mix of open project grants and more selective, invite-only commissions for concerts, festivals, new works, recordings, and multimedia projects, with a strong emphasis on musicology, critical editions, and francophone research. Nonprofits and cultural institutions working in France or on French-relevant international projects are the best fit, especially if they can demonstrate artistic originality or heritage value.
A hybrid model of open applications and invite-only support. The foundation offers periodic review cycles for project grants and editorial support, with some programs meeting two or fewer times per year; commission and multimedia support are typically relationship-based and selective. Grants appear to be project-specific rather than large ongoing operating awards, with at least one small writing fellowship around €9,000.

Use the public application form for Aides à projets and plan around the stated review sessions (spring/autumn cycles); for Musica Gallica, work through an editor in coordination with a musicologist. Commission and multimedia support are generally invite-only, so applicants should build relationships and only pursue them if their project clearly advances contemporary creation or French musical heritage.
