Funding Information
While awards average between $500 and $2,000, grants up to $5,000 may be requested. Grant awards are announced at the end of the application month, following review and action of the Council.
Eligible Projects
Presenting/touring presentations including: theater, dance, opera/musical theater, music, performances for young audiences, literary readings/storytelling, folk & traditional arts, and media arts. Funds can be used for any expenses directly related to the project. In fiscal year 2024 (July 1, 2023 – June 30, 2024), applicants to this grant program may continue to consider alternate ways to present performing arts beyond the tour model: this may include performances, readings and other eligible performing arts disciplines noted above delivered via distance delivery, outdoor performances, or other adaptive strategies for performing arts presenting.
Presentations specifically designed to attract new audiences, reach underserved populations (geographic, economic or individuals with disabilities) or underserved performing arts disciplines. Projects that include live presentations using distance delivery or other modalities will be considered for fiscal year 2024 (July 1, 2023 – June 30, 2024). For FY2024, Walker applicants should consider communities with limited access to the arts because of the continuing changes in public health conditions, and that may be reached by an organization’s performing arts presentations, when considering access for underserved communities.
Participation in workshops, conferences and other professional development opportunities for performing arts organizational volunteer and/or paid staff. This can include distance learning opportunities.
Eligibility Criteria
Alaska nonprofit organizations with 501c3 status, in business for at least three years;
Units of government;
Tribal entities and schools if the project is not part of school curriculum or for credit.
