The French American Fund for Contemporary Music supports contemporary music projects – commissions, residencies, performances, tours, and master classes – that foster cultural exchange between France and the United States.

The Fund awards grants to nonprofit institutions celebrating the work of living composers in both countries. Collaborations combining new French and American works are especially encouraged.

A direct outgrowth of Sounds French, a festival of contemporary French music held in March 2003 in New York City, the Fund supports French-American contemporary music partnerships. Created in 2004 by the Cultural Services of the French Embassy, the Fund is operated by FACE.
