The Rauschenberg Medical Emergency Grants program provides one-time grants of up to $5,000 for recent unexpected medical, dental, and mental health emergencies to artists in financial need who are creating in the visual arts, film/video/electronic/digital arts, and choreography.

Only generative artists are eligible: meaning artists who are creating their own, independent work, with recent and ongoing opportunities for the public to experience that work.

We are accepting applications for Cycle 28 of this program through 5:00 PM ET Tuesday, January 14.

NYFA is pleased to announce that the Rauschenberg Emergency Grants will continue to be offered through at least June 2025.

Please note: Rauschenberg Medical Emergency Grants are not for lost wages, living expenses, or medical care for individuals other than the artist.
