Mrrzy:
From the reading I was sent, The Heritage Fellowship is a one-time grant, as is the Bess Lomax Hawes. There is some questions as to whether the MC qulaifies for the Folk/Trad Infrastructure Initiative, I'm checking into that one yet. (I think it's a no-go because the MC is a pre-exhisting entity, but we'll see)

Further considerations/categories for application letters:
Artists whose contributions, primarily through teaching, advocacy, organizing, and preserving important repertoires, have greatly benefited their artistic tradition. Individuals such as producers and activists whose efforts have significantly increased opportunities for and public visibility of traditional arts and artists.
