GRANT FROM GRAHAM FOUNDATION

Last date : February 25, 2016

Grant Types

The Graham Foundation offers Production and Presentation Grants to organizations.

These grants assist organizations with the production-related expenses that are necessary to take a project from conceptualization to realization and public presentation. These projects include, but are not limited to, publications, exhibitions, installations, films, new media projects, conferences/lectures, and other public programs.

Projects must have clearly defined goals, work plans, budgets, and production and dissemination plans.

Applications for Publication Support: Unless the applicant is a publisher, an organization applying for publication support should have a committed publisher for the work, that is, a publisher with whom you have a contractual agreement to publish your project.

Grant amount: Production and Presentation Grants to organizations do not exceed $30,000 and are likely to be less. Given the demand for funding, the Graham Foundation is not always able to fund grantees at the full request amount.

Grant period: Production and Presentation Grants must be completed within two years. Applicants should allow sufficient time to plan, implement, close out their project, and, if funded, acknowledge Graham Foundation support in all published media.

Eligibility

Our grantmaking focuses on organizations in the United States, however, we do make a small percentage of international grants. Please note we require that final projects be disseminated in English.

Grants to Organizations:

• Organizations are eligible to apply for Production and Presentation Grants.
• 501(c)(3) tax exempt organizations are eligible for funding. Under some circumstances we will make grants to other entities when there is clear evidence that the public interest will be served, for example, in the case of a publisher or an emerging organization that does not yet have tax exempt status.
• An organization or academic department/unit may only apply for one grant per year. (In the case of large institutions with multiple departments, a subsidiary department/unit may apply for one grant per year. For example, an academic department/unit at a university may apply for one grant per year.)
• Applicants who have received prior Graham Foundation support must have satisfied all grant requirements before applying again.

Ineligible Costs:

• Endowment
• General operating expenses
• Capital projects
• Scholarship aid or work in pursuit of an academic degree (advanced doctoral candidates are eligible to apply for the Carter Manny Award)
• Work focused on K-12 curriculum or learning and/or intended for K-12 audiences
• Debt or expenses incurred prior to the date of grant request

How to Apply

The Graham Foundation’s application for Grants to Organizations is a one-stage process. Organizations with eligible projects are invited to apply for funding consideration. The review is a very competitive process, as we receive many more applications than we are able to fund. Funding decisions are based on:

• Priority of the proposed project as related to our mission and interests
• The project’s fulfillment of our criteria for evaluation
• Availability of Graham Foundation funds

Application: Candidates interested in applying for a grant from the Graham Foundation must submit an application. The application becomes available on our website with each grant cycle and must be submitted online.

Award Decision: Funding recommendations are presented to the Board of Trustees for consideration. If a grant is awarded to you, you will be asked to sign a grant agreement that outlines the conditions of the award, such as annual reporting.
