In the Arts: Foundation Steps In to Support Juilliard Program
April 13, 2009 | Read Time: 1 minute
The Eli and Edythe Broad Foundation pledged $425,000 over four years to help sustain the Juilliard School’s Music Advancement Program for poor and minority students, The Los Angeles Times reports.
The donation kicks off a $1.5-million campaign for the program, which the school had planned to suspend as part of a series of budget cuts.
Also, New York’s Asia Society is eliminating 18 of its 160 staff positions as part of a budget-cutting plan it undertook after its endowment dropped by 30 percent in value, reports The New York Times.
