We award monthly grants to DMV-based artists and educators with ideas for civic engagement
At Tour de Force, we believe in the power of art to drive social change. We provide monthly grants to DMV-based artists and educators with ideas for community-based social impact. Our goal is to support creative projects that make a difference in the local community.
2. Empowering Artists
3. Fostering Collaboration
We empower artists and educators to turn their creative ideas into reality. With our grants, individuals can bring their artistic vision to life and address pressing social issues through their work.
Collaboration is at the heart of what we do. We aim to build a community of like-minded individuals who are passionate about using art as a tool for positive change. Together, we can create a thriving ecosystem of creativity and impact.
The Tour de Force Foundation is dedicated to providing accessible funding opportunities for artists and educators. Through a simple application process, applicants can share their project ideas and receive the support they need to bring their vision to life. We believe in transparency, equity, and the transformative power of art in addressing social challenges.

Paul Emmanuel
Civic Engagement Consultant Paul Emmanuel is a South African artist whose work turns remembrance into dialogue. A Fulbright Scholar and Civic Engagement Consultant for the Tour de Force Foundation, he collaborates with the Medical College of Wisconsin on 'Talking with Monuments: Veteran Dialogues on Remembering', exploring how art and conversation can help heal the invisible wounds of war. His acclaimed 'The Lost Men' series and international exhibitions — from the Smithsonian to the Somme — invite us to see memory not as static, but as something we create together.
