Please note: co-sponsors may pay musicians more than these amounts, but for the purpose of the MPTF application, applicants MUST use these numbers on the application form. MPTF will only reimburse 50% of scale wages paid to musicians. Any amount your organization pays musicians in excess of this scale is permissible, but the excess funds are not eligible for MPTF reimbursement.
