National Emergency Grants Program for Dancers - Deadline July 30, 2024
“The support is very helpful & meaningful for me. A life in art is a winding road.” (RDEG grantee)
Are you a dancer living anywhere in the US in dire financial emergency? If you’re paid for your work, you may be eligible for a one-time grant of up to $3,000.Dancers must demonstrate an urgent and critical need for emergency support in order to apply, due to a lack or loss of recent performance work due to circumstances outside of your control. This can include canceled performances, delayed tours, or illness or injury. You do NOT need to work as a dancer full time or earn your primary income through dance. Dire financial emergencies include the lack or imminent endangerment of essentials such as rent and utilities, medicine/healthcare, food, and transportation. Cycle 13 of the Rauschenberg Dancer Emergency Grants program closes July 30. It is administered by New York Foundation for the Arts (NYFA), and funded by Robert Rauschenberg Foundation.
