Details:
The Foundation will be considering new proposals in the genres of theater, video/film, and climate/environmental for their 2023 grant cycle. Applications in other disciplines will not be considered. Please note that the primary focus of your proposal must be one of these three genres. For example, please do not apply for a video/film grant if you are composing a musical score for a film. One exception is that they will also consider arts-related projects focusing on environmental Issues and the climate crisis confronting us all in other genres such as theater.
Funding Information
Average grants are approximately $1,250. The maximum grant size is $2,500.
Eligibility Criteria
- Their tax status only allows them to grant money to citizens and permanent residents of the United States with a social security number. They will also consider proposals from current DACA recipients with Social Security Numbers. While they do fund citizens/permanent residents for projects that might occur outside of the United States on rare occasions, they do not fund travel expenses. A component that includes how you might display or distribute information about your project domestically is also strongly recommended, though not required.
- The Foundation enjoys a tax status which allows them to fund individual artists directly. But please be aware that grants made to individuals count as gifted income that should be declared for tax purposes and we provide grantees with a 1099 form for tax purposes. Grantees can also be organizations or utilize a fiscal sponsor. It is up to the applicant to decide how they wish to proceed.
