Apply: Rauschenberg Dancer Emergency Grants Cycle 24
The Rauschenberg Dancer Emergency Grants program provides one-time grants of up to $3,000 to professional dancers facing dire financial emergencies, due to the loss or lack of recent/current live performance work, because of circumstances outside of their control.
“Dire financial emergencies“ include the lack or imminent endangerment of essentials such as housing, medicine/healthcare, utilities, and food. This grant program aims to provide dancers with greater stability to move forward by covering up to three months of essential expenses, recognizing the ongoing impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the dance sector, as well as other recent career interruptions including illness or injury.
Applicants must be 21 years or older and reside in the United States, the District of Columbia, a Tribal Nation, or a U.S. Territory.
Cycle 24 is open now through Tuesday, May 19, 5:00 PM ET.
