Foundation Funding Opportunities ARTS AND HUMANITIES NEW!! Association of Performing Arts Professionals Supports the Global Exchange of Arts. The Association of Performing Arts Professionals (APAP) assists U.S. based APAP-member presenting professionals and their organizations and companies in building partnerships and collaborations with international touring artists, companies and their collaborators outside of the U.S., and to experience the work of artists from around the world in its cultural context. APAP recognizes that promoting global exchanges of artists, their work and cross-cultural programs is essential to fully engage audiences and communities in the breadth and diversity of performing arts experiences. These exchanges provide an opportunity for presenting professionals to expand and deepen their knowledge of artists, traditions, and cultures from around the world. APAP awards U.S. based presenting organizations, agents, managers, producers, individual artists, and groups of performing arts professionals traveling outside of the U.S. to see the work of artists and companies or to develop and advance projects with foreign artists and their collaborators. APAP strongly encourages but does not limit travel to the following: Africa, Asia, Latin America, and the Middle East. In addition, APAP gives preference to applicants who are located in rural communities where exposure to other cultures and diverse arts programming may be less prevalent than in urban settings. APAP also highly encourages Group Applications and provides the Lead Partner Organization (i.e. the APAP member submitting the application on behalf of the group) with extra funds to offset the additional time and investment required to organize the trip. Group travel tends to spark collaboration and lays the foundation for commissioning and touring work in multiple sites across the U.S. It also provides the opportunity for travelers to experience work and meet creative teams together, to discuss potential block booking engagements and brainstorm programming initiatives. Grant Amount: Grant amounts range from $2,000 to $10,000. Eligibility: All applicants must be active members of APAP at the time of submission, and membership must extend at least one month beyond proposed travel dates.

The Puffin Foundation West Accepting Applications for Social Justice Art Projects.

The foundation gives special consideration to communities and school districts underserved by the arts. In 2019, the foundation will consider projects from individual artists and organizations working within the visual arts, dance, music, theater, photography, film/video, writing, poetry, and public interest platforms. Grant Amount: Grant amounts range from $550 to$2,500. Foundation grants are relatively modest in size and, therefore, the larger the annual budget, the less likely we may deem the funds necessary. Eligibility: Tax-exempt organizations and individuals are eligible to apply. The Foundation typically will not consider grants from NFPs whose annual budget is $1 million or more. The overall size and annual budget of each applicant is taken into consideration. Due Date: November 9, 2018 For more information, visit: http://puffinwest.org/grant-application/ NEW!! The Shubert Foundation Supports Dance, Theatre, and Arts-Related Programs. The Shubert Foundation supports dance, theatre, and arts-related programs. Dance and Theatre applications are evaluated individually and with appropriate allowance for size and resources. The standard for awarding these grants is based on an assessment of each organization's operation and its contribution to the field. Artistic achievement, administrative strength, and fiscal stability are factored into each evaluation, as is the company's development of new work and other significant contributions to the field of professional theatre in the US. Some organizations that help support the development of theatre and dance are eligible for funding. Grants to these art-related organizations are based principally on an assessment of their work, as demonstrated by past and current performance. Impact, administrative strength, and fiscal stability are also factored into each evaluation. Grant Amount: Grant amounts not specified. Eligibility: Applicants must be located in the US and have current 501(c)(3) tax-exempt status in order to be eligible for funding. The Foundation provides grants only to organizations that have an established artistic and administrative track record, as well as a history of fiscal responsibility. The Foundation does not make grants to individuals, nor does it provide funds for project support, audience development, direct subsidy of reduced-price admissions, conduit organizations (agencies 4 | P a g e that disburse funds to individuals or other organizations), media (film, TV, and radio), renovation projects, loans, capital or endowment campaigns.
