Sachs Program Grants

The first step in applying for any Sachs Program grant is to review the grant opportunities described on our website and fill out a short inquiry form for the grant that best fits your request.

If you’re interested in applying, even if you’re not sure yet what to apply for, we encourage you to reach out. The preferred way to do so is to submit an inquiry form through our website’s individual grant category pages.

We are happy to meet with anyone interested in applying. Meetings are required to apply for an Artist Residency Grant or Community Partnerships Grant, but are optional for other categories. We also provide opportunities to review draft applications and are happy to discuss your ideas with you at any time throughout the application process.
