About Frederick Loewe Foundation Inc C/O Baker Tilly
The foundation’s grantmaking is built around Frederick Loewe’s musical legacy. Its recent awards support music education, musical theater, and public awareness of the composer’s work, with a clear emphasis on qualified tax-exempt organizations. The largest recent grants include $110,000 to Save the Music in both 2024 and 2025, showing repeated support for music education programs, and $100,000 to Hunter College Foundation for a dance studio renovation in 2024. Those awards sit alongside theater and performing-arts education grants to institutions such as Vivian Beaumont Theater for Lincoln Center Theater Open Stages Education and New York City Center for Encores. The Frederick Loewe Foundation Inc C/o Baker Tilly also uses general-purpose support frequently, rather than narrowly earmarked project funding. Recent gifts include operating-style awards to cultural and educational organizations in New York, especially in music and dance training settings. The pattern suggests a foundation focused on preserving a composer’s legacy through institutions that teach, stage, and develop musical and theatrical work. Grants recur to the same recipients across multiple years, and several awards are tied to programs named for Loewe or to organizations that develop new musical and performing-arts work.
