Music in Parks :: Celebrating community

Do you need help with your next community event?

Music in Parks provides awards up to $500 to neighborhood organizations to support fun, free community-building events in San Francisco's parks and open spaces.

Awards applications are evaluated in several areas including: the feasibility of the project, the level of community engagement and need, and the potential for stewardship.

Applications are accepted year round; we make 5-6 awards per year.

For more information, contact us at partner@sfpt.org. Please read the Music in Parks Guidelines  before submitting an Application.
