About Mid Atlantic Arts
Mid Atlantic Arts Inc’s grantmaking is anchored in performing arts presenting and touring, with major awards also supporting folk and traditional arts, jazz, relief and recovery, and international exchange. Recent grants show a mix of institutional support for presenters and smaller awards that help artists and organizations move work across venues and regions. A 2023 grant of $112,230 to Fractured Atlas Inc Total in Hartsdale, New York sits alongside 2024 awards of $75,000 each to the Birthplace of Country Music Alliance in Bristol, Virginia; Shack Neighborhood House Inc in Pursglove, West Virginia; and Federal Valley Resource Center in Stewart, Ohio for folk and traditional arts. The pattern points to a funder that uses grantmaking to sustain touring infrastructure, presentation, and traditional arts practices rather than individual artist patronage. Its work also extends to recovery and continuity in the field, as shown by a $51,350 grant to Center for Traditional Music and Dance Inc Total in New York, New York for relief and recovery. The range of recipients includes universities, theater organizations, music presenters, and community arts groups.
What Mid Atlantic Arts Funds
Performing arts presenting and touring is the clearest throughline. In 2024, Mid Atlantic Arts Inc gave $46,090 to Bucknell University in Lewisburg, Pennsylvania, $34,600 to the Trustees of the University of Pennsylvania in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, and $33,300 to Joyce Theater Foundation Inc in New York, New York for that purpose. Folk and traditional arts is another major area, with $75,000 awards in 2024 to the Birthplace of Country Music Alliance, Shack Neighborhood House Inc, and Federal Valley Resource Center. The foundation also supports jazz and related presentation work: The Jazz Gallery in New York, New York received $37,080 in 2023 and $31,020 in 2025. Relief and recovery appears as a separate funding use, including grants to Center for Traditional Music and Dance Inc Total, Performance Zone Inc Total, and Jose Limon Dance Foundation Total.
How Mid Atlantic Arts Gives
Typical awards are compact: the p25 grant size is $8,435, the median is $9,500, and the p75 is $12,600. That distribution sits below several larger awards in the recent-grants list, indicating a structure that combines many smaller grants with a limited number of larger project grants. The foundation is a regular funder and does not fund individuals or make program-related investments. Several recipients appear in multiple years, including The Jazz Gallery, Bucknell University, Center for Traditional Music and Dance Inc, Foundation for Independent Artists Inc, and others, which suggests ongoing relationships rather than one-off grants. A number of recent entries are labeled Total, indicating multi-part or consolidated awards in the record.
