Frederick Loewe Foundation Incorporated
The Frederick Loewe Foundation preserves the musical legacy of composer Frederick Loewe, controls/licences his works (My Fair Lady, Camelot, etc.), and supports music education and musical theater through grants. The foundation's site states it makes grants (noting up to $800,000 a year), and provides licensing, contact, and grant submission guidance.

Ideal Applicant
A 501(c)(3) performing-arts or music-education organization with programs in musical theater or composer legacy work, preferably operating in New York or serving New York audiences, with a clear, concise proposal and track record.
Good Fit
- • Programs that advance musical theater, composer legacy, or music education.
- • Located in New York or serving substantial New York audiences.
- • Capacity to submit a focused two-page proposal and supply follow-up information if requested.
- • Existing institutional credibility (theaters, conservatories, educational departments).
Geography
Giving is heavily concentrated in New York (about 81% of dollars in the latest year) despite grants to a handful of other states; the footprint is therefore strongly metro/state‑focused.
Recipient Variety
The latest year shows 27 distinct grantees (and similar counts in prior years), spanning performing arts, conservatories, and music-education groups, which indicates a broad recipient set for the foundation's size.
New Applicants
Direct evidence of new entrants exists (about five new recipients in the latest year) and the website gives a clear two‑page proposal route, but filings and the high rate of returning grantees suggest selection is curated rather than fully open.
