Emergency Response Grant Funding
The Foundation’s official response to the pandemic.
Emergency Response Grant funding is the Foundation’s official response to the global pandemic and resulting financial crisis that the global community experienced starting in March 2020. The Foundation partners with other nonprofits globally to provide eligible artists with cash grants of up to $1,000 each. By design, artists simply submit their applications with the Foundation’s nonprofit partner, the partner organizations assess the application and approved artists are funded right away. That’s it. Cash to artists in need in the midst of crisis.
