Rauschenberg Medical Emergency Grants: Cycle 28

This 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—artists creating their own, independent work, with recent and ongoing opportunities for the public to experience that work. To be eligible to apply, your average adjusted gross income for the last two years you’ve filed tax returns must be no greater than $75,000 ($150,000 for joint filers).

Grants may be requested for expenses already paid, pending, or for treatment the artist is putting off due to lack of funds.

We have extended our January 14 deadline through February 20 at 5:00 PM ET for artists residing in Los Angeles County, a designated FEMA disaster zone. Eligible applicants may apply for funds for emergency mental health, medical or dental treatment, whether related to the impacts of the wildfires or not.
