Music Entertainers and Blues Music educators. The grant fund

BACKGROUND INFORMATION
In 2004 the Illinois Blues Coalition, Inc. was formed to promote
the art form known as the blues. It was determined that a fund
which was strictly concerned with offering grants was in need to
help the various organizations, entertainers and educators to
continue in their efforts to promote blues music as an art
form. This fund, referred to as the Illinois Blues Coalition
Fund was designated to be used for these grants as well as a
process to administer these allocations.
This process was completed and the Illinois Blues Coalition,
Inc. was designated to be in charge of the Illinois Blues
Coalition Fund Grant process with recommendation by the Cultural
Arts Coordinator and final approval concerning use of these
funds being made by the Board of Directors
