Grants for Individuals

The Graham Foundation offers two types of grants to individuals: Production and Presentation Grants and Research and Development Grants.  Production and Presentation Grants:  These grants assist individuals 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, and new media projects.  Projects must have clearly defined goals, work plans, budgets, and production and dissemination plans.  Committed Producers: Individuals applying for Production and Presentation Grants should have a Committed Producer(s) for the project, that is, an entity committed to producing and/or presenting the project with the individual, such as a publisher, exhibition venue, etc.  Grant amount: Production and Presentation Grants to individuals do not exceed $20,000 and are likely to be less. Given the demand for funding, the Graham Foundation is not always able to fund projects at the full request amount.
