Leeway Foundation Offers Social Change Project Grants to Women and Trans Artists in the Delaware Valley Region
Deadline: September 15, 2011

The Philadelphia-based Leeway Foundation is committed to art making as an integral part of social change, to movement building, and anti-oppression work. The foundation’s grantmaking programs are designed to honor women and trans artists for their ability to create social change through their artistic and cultural work.

The Art and Change Grants program provides project grants of up to $2,500 to women and trans artists in the Delaware Valley region to fund art for social change projects.

Applications are invited from women and trans artists who have an art-for-social-change project or opportunity that impacts a larger group, audience, or community; have financial need and limited or no access to other financial resources; have a project supported by or in collaboration with a “change partner” (a person, organization, or business that is a part of the project in some way); and who live in the Delaware Valley area (Bucks, Camden, Chester, Delaware, Montgomery, or Philadelphia counties).

Visit the Leeway Foundation Web site for complete program information, application procedures, and examples of funded projects.
