Grants of up to $2,500 to USA artists and organizations addressing social issues through video and film. A written request for an application is required. The Foundation focuses on new and emerging artists whose creative works seek to change and improve lives but might have difficulty being aired due to genre and/or social philosophy. Due to the Corona Virus, 2021 proposals will only be accepted in the disciplines of Video/Film and Environmental.
The Foundation is interested in art that educates the public on topical issues. For example, projects that seek to enrich and inform the public on important subjects such as the physical environment, social justice, civil rights and other contemporary issues facing the country (and the planet), that some organizations might hesitate to fund. The Foundation also gives special consideration to communities and school districts that are under-served by the arts.
