Details:
In April 2023, the Field Foundation, in partnership with the MacArthur Foundation, launched A Road Together (ART), a new grantmaking program designed specifically for small and mid-sized arts and culture organizations with annual operating budgets up to $1 million and with a strong commitment to equity that are reflective and inclusive of Chicago’s diverse and historically underserved communities.
Through this initiative, there are opportunities to apply for multi-year general operating grants using a participatory grantmaking process, as well as single-year general operating grants outside of the participatory process.
The ART grant program provides general operating funds, meaning organizations receiving ART funding may use the grant dollars as appropriate for their organization’s needs, including organizational programming, capacity needs, staffing, etc.
