Pollock-Krasner Foundation Accepting Grant Applica...

Call for Artists ; Grants ; Miscellaneous : Request For Proposals (RFP)

Posted: Dec 28, 2019

The mission of the Pollock-Krasner Foundation is to aid, internationally, those individuals who have worked as artists over a significant period of time. The foundation’s dual criteria for grants are recognizable artistic merit and financial need, whether professional, personal, or both. The foundation welcomes, throughout the year, applications from visual artists who are painters, sculptors, and artists who work on paper, including printmakers. Applications are encouraged from artists who have genuine financial needs that are not necessarily catastrophic. Grants are intended for a one-year period of time and can be used by the applicant for all legitimate expenditures relating to his or her professional work and personal living (including medical) expenses. The size of the grant is determined by the individual circumstances of the artist. Professional exhibition history will be taken into consideration. Artists must be actively exhibiting their current work in a professional artistic venue such as a gallery or museum. The foundation does not accept applications from commercial artists, video artists, performance artists, filmmakers, crafts-makers, computer artists, or any artist whose work primarily falls into these categories. In addition, it does not make grants to students or for academic study or to pay for past debts, legal fees, the purchase of real estate, moves to other cities, personal travel, or to pay for the costs of installations, commissions, or projects ordered by others. For complete application guidelines and a list of previously supported artists, see the Pollock-Krasner Foundation website.

Captain Planet Foundation Invites Applications for...

Posted: Dec 27, 2019

The Captain Planet Foundation was established as a corporate foundation to support youth-led efforts inspired by the show, Captain Planet & the Planeteers, a cartoon program produced by Ted Turner & Barbara Pyle that aired from 1990-1996. In the show, Gaia, the spirit of the planet, assembles a team of five young “planeteers” from nations around the world who are able to summon Captain Planet to help them solve ecological and other global problems “by their powers combined.” Although it has been off the air for more than two decades, Captain Planet lives on in the minds of many real-world “Planeteers” as a symbol of becoming a superhero for planet Earth. Today, the foundation supports educators working to facilitate youth-led projects that result in positive environmental impact in schools and communities. To that end, it is inviting applications for its ecoSolution™ Grants. Previously called “Small Grants,” ecoSolution™ Grants have been the defining basis of Captain Planet Foundation’s work over the last twenty-five years. Through the program, grants ranging between $500 and $2,500 will be awarded in support of solution-oriented youth-led projects that result in real environmental outcomes, broadly-defined. Grants will only be made in support of materials or direct project costs. To be eligible, applicants must be based in the U.S., have an annual operating budget of no more than $3 million, and be tax exempt under section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code (including most nonprofits and schools), or have a fiscal sponsor with such status. See the Captain Planet website for complete program guidelines, application instructions, and examples of previously supported projects.

To that end, the foundation is inviting applications for innovative projects with the potential to enhance life on planet Earth and brighten the future, furthering peace. The foundation will award grants in support of pioneering yet practical projects in many fields of endeavor, including but not limited to environmental initiatives aimed at eliminating pollution and saving the planet’s ecosystems; community efforts that create innovative educational models that prepare youth to become the socially responsible leaders of the future; and strategies that offer economic improvement and opportunities.

To be eligible, candidates must be tax exempt under section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Service.

Karma for Cara Foundation Invites Applications for...

Call for Artists ; Education ; Grants ; Miscellaneous : Request For Proposals (RFP)

Posted: Dec 27, 2019

2020 Quarterly Application Deadlines January 1st | April 1st | July 1st | October 1st The Karma for Cara Foundation was established by 21-year-old Cara Becker and her family while Cara was being treated for leukemia. Created in Cara’s hospital room to support a couple of blood drives, the foundation today supports young citizen-leaders nationwide. To that end, the foundation is inviting applications for its micro-grant program, which is managed by the Living Classrooms Foundation, a Karma for Cara partner. Through the program, micro-grants of up to $1,000 will be awarded to students age 18 and under in support of service projects in their communities. The grants are intended to serve as a bridge between ideas and action, helping young citizen-leaders execute and magnify projects aimed at helping to repair the world. Examples of eligible projects include transforming a vacant lot into a community garden, rebuilding a school playground, or helping senior citizens winterize their homes. The foundation requests that projects involving an entire class or student group designate a maximum of three student leaders to be the main points of contact for the project. To be eligible, all students must be 18 years of age or younger. Application Guidelines 01. If you are applying on behalf of an entire class or student group, please designate a maximum of three student leaders to be the main points of contact for the project. We realize additional students may be involved, but having clear points of contact will make communication much easier. 02. Include numbers as best as you can. We want to know how many students will be involved in executing your project, how many people will benefit from your project, etc. Please note that more isn’t necessarily better. The numbers simply help us better understand the scope of your project. 03. While we understand the need for purchasing items to donate to others, your microgrant project should involve more than just purchasing items and donating them. Are you transforming the items you purchase into something else that can be used in a variety of ways? Are you bringing students together to pack/organize/make something out of what you purchase? 04. It is our intent that our grants fund the nuts & bolts of projects so we do not fund stipends, facility rentals, or transportation costs. 05. We notify applicants of decisions within six (6) weeks of each microgrant deadline. See the Karma for Cara website for compete program guidelines and application instructions.
