"So for the first 'yes' that I've received from New York after a decade of 'no's' - 95 of them, I counted - for the first to be in the name of Jonathan Larson, that kindred spirit who sent me on this journey means more than I could possibly say." - Christie Baugher

The Jonathan Larson Grant is an unconditional annual investment in individual talent. The grant is awarded to musical theatre composers, lyricists, and librettists, or writing teams, early in their career, to support artistic endeavors and safeguard long-term music writing careers.
