Summary
This grant initiative is designed for nonprofit organizations operating anywhere in the United States. It supports creative work that goes beyond traditional art projects, offering funding to culturally rich efforts that engage communities and amplify movements for social change. Specifically, the program aims to fund artistic initiatives that inspire civic engagement, support marginal voices, and connect the arts with social, ecological, and economic justice themes—especially in communities affected by climate inequity, mass incarceration, over-policing, and racial oppression.
Recipients often include organizations sharing compelling visions that extend beyond a single artwork or exhibit, instead using creative expression as a vehicle for community empowerment and broader storytelling. Roughly half of the grants support new or emerging work, while others help fuel ongoing movements or partnerships between artists and community groups.
The funds can be applied toward a wide range of creative practices—anything from multimedia storytelling to collaborative public art and cultural organizing efforts. This flexibility allows recipients to use the funding in ways that best suit their mission, whether for operating support, strategic growth, or innovative new projects.
Importantly, only nonprofit entities are eligible; individuals, for-profit businesses, and hyper-local youth programs typically are not considered. There’s no dedicated process for unsolicited applications—because the program focuses on building and sustaining relationships with organizations that already align with its goals.
This grant opportunity offers both financial support and an affirmation of the broader social potential of artistic work. By weaving together art, movement-building, and community engagement, it helps sustain creative strategies that move toward a more just and interconnected society. Even though the exact grant amounts and timing can vary, the program consistently prioritizes art as a powerful catalyst for change.
Organizations and individuals based in Idaho who are engaged in Social Justice may be eligible to apply for this funding opportunity. To discover more grants that align with your mission and objectives, visit The Grant Portal and explore listings using the Search Grant tool.
