The Rauschenberg Dancer Emergency Grants program provides one-time grants of up to $3,000 to professional dancers in need, who are in dire financial emergency.

You must demonstrate an urgent and critical need for emergency support in your application, and live in the United States, the District of Columbia, a Tribal Nation, or a U.S. Territory. This program is made possible through the support of the Robert Rauschenberg Foundation.

**The deadline of 5:00 PM October 8 was extended through 5:00 PM ET November 4 due to the extraordinary destruction and devastation caused by Hurricanes Helene and Milton. Eligible applicants who have lost work due to circumstances outside of their control, including the impacts of Hurricanes Helene and Milton, may apply for funds for essential expenses.**
