| Description of Program |
The Presenter Travel Fund provides monetary assistance to arts programmers or curatorial staff in New England so that they may investigate new or unfamiliar artists or ensembles.
Applicants may apply for funding to help cover the expense of attending festivals, showcases, conferences, or other cultural events where they can see artistic work that they may present in their own community. NEFA encourages applicants to seek out opportunities where multiple cultural events are taking place, so that they may experience as many performances & genres as possible. |

| Description of Support or Services |
The Presenter Travel Fund supports travel by programming or curatorial staff of arts presenting organizations. This includes: travel plans that enable the applicant to see the work of several different artists (for example, by attending a festival or showcase, or by traveling to a city or region where multiple cultural events are happening), travel to conferences with strong showcasing components, travel plans to see outstanding multi-cultural, contemporary, or traditional/folkloric art, and travel for arts programming staff who have limited access to other sources of subsidy. Grants to non-profit, New England-based organizations will cover up to 50% of total expenses, including mileage, economy class transportation, meals, lodging, admission, and, where applicable, conference or showcase registration fees. If awarded, grant funds are released on a reimbursement basis after appropriate documentation is submitted.
