Description: For individuals, the Graham Foundation’s priorities are to: provide opportunities to create, develop, and communicate a project about architecture and the designed environment that will contribute to their creative, intellectual, and professional growth at crucial or potentially transformative stages in their careers; support their efforts to take positions, develop new forms of expression, and engage debate; help them communicate their work in the public realm and reach new and wider audiences; and support new voices by giving priority to first-time applicants.
There are two types of grants for which individuals may apply: Production & Presentation Grants and Research & Development Grants. Production and Presentation grants assist individuals with the production-related expenses that are necessary to take a project from conceptualization to realization and public presentation. These projects include, but are not limited to publications, exhibitions, installations, films, and new media projects. Research and Development Grants assist individuals with seed money for research-related expenses such as travel, documentation, materials, supplies, and other development costs. Please see website for full details.
Award: Production and Presentation Grants: up to $20,000 but likely to be less; Research and Development Grants: up to $10,000 but likely to be less.
Eligibility: Individuals eligible to apply; collaborative projects by individuals eligible for funding; individuals may apply for only one grant per year; and applicants who have received prior Graham Foundation support must have satisfied all grant requirements before applying again.
Deadline: inquiry form – Sept. 15, 2021
