What kind of funding do you provide?
-
We offer immediate need grants and legal
funding to people in need and the organizations that support them. This funding is with no strings attached and aims to ease human suffering.
-
We offer sustainability grants to partner
organizations who are also working to ease such hardship.
What organizations qualify for funding from Artists in Solidarity?
- We provide grant funding to organizations that directly support people in need in a variety of ways: legal aid, humanitarian services, vocational assistance, housing/shelter, and more.
How do you choose organizations to receive grant funding?
- Every Spring we look at a variety of organizations that work with people in need, researching to their track records, their financials, and their reputations.
- We then narrow down the list to two organizations who show exemplary service, paying attention to current events and likelihood of impact.
- We prioritize organizations with volunteer workforces but do not exclude those with paid workers.
What individuals qualify for immediate need grants and
legal funding?
-
To verify need, we partner with trusted
local humanitarian organizations that are both in direct contact with
families but also demonstrate a commitment to safety and privacy to the people
affected.
-
While transparency is our guiding principle
financially, we guard any personal information about individual grantees like
we would Nonni’s sauce recipe.
I represent an organization that helps people and I’m
looking for funding. How do I apply?
- Please submit a contact form and we will keep you in mind for upcoming grants.
- While not required, we like to see your prior years’ financials to help us make a decision.
I represent an organization that was chosen to receive a grant. How does that work?
- We will hold an online auction over a two-week period, usually in the Summer.
- Over this time we ask that you help promote the auction to increase fundraising opportunities.
- When the auction ends, we subtract any expenses from the total funds raised, then we split the remainder between two grantees.
- We send the donation to you however you wish, electronically or by check, but we ask for a receipt for our records.
That’s all good. How can I help?
