It is sponsored "with a grant from the National Endowment for the Arts (NEA), the Mid Atlantic Arts Foundation, and by the DC Commission on the Arts and Humanities, an agency supported in part by the National Endowment for the Arts".[3] At least 100 musicians perform annually in venues across the city.[4]
