Apply for your grant

We award monthly grants to DMV-based artists and educators who have ideas that will yield educational and/or community-based social impact. We seek proposals for short-term projects or programs, and we are open to supporting the costs of field trips and classroom supplies. Take a look at some of our past grantees to give you an idea of what we are looking for. Make sure you have read through all our FAQs before you apply!
