The Texas Music Office (TMO), a division within the Office of the Governor's Texas Economic Development and Tourism Office, administers the Music Educational and Community Programs project. This initiative is dedicated to promoting the development of the Texas music industry and serves as an information clearinghouse, assisting over 15,000 patrons annually. For Fiscal Year 2024, TMO invites applications from 501(c)(3) nonprofits based in Texas for projects that benefit music-related education and community programs. The funding for these grants is derived from the sale of Texas Music specialty license plates and donations. Projects may encompass music performances, presentations, lessons, or instrument acquisitions aimed at enriching the community's musical landscape.
