Fund the Flow Arts

10/12/2026

Fund the Flow Arts has opened the 2026-2027 Seed Fund Grant Cycle planning to distribute up to $50,000 in this round of funding to flow artists supporting our community and art form!

For the 2026-2027 grant cycle, we will be funding projects in the Teaching/Outreach and Flow Arts Education and Training Resource Development categories.

Examples of eligible projects include after-school programs, workshop series, or the creation of resource material for educators, therapists, or other professions to incorporate flow arts into their work. Guides on fire safety, or best practices for working with people with disabilities, would also be examples of resources. These examples are not prescriptive nor exhaustive.
Grants are available to U.S. based recipients only.
Projects in the Events/Gatherings category will be funded in the 2027-2028 cycle.

Projects that have the potential for wider reach beyond your personal community will be more competitive. Partnerships with other nonprofit organizations, businesses, or other community entities such as libraries, schools, park districts or merchants associations (just as examples) would be a plus.

Hey everybody! Just a quick reminder that the deadline for the Seed Fund is in three weeks. Still plenty of time to apply for one of our grants ranging up to $10,000.

Same deadline if you are considering a $20,000 Community Development Investment, though the requirements for that are very specific and a bit more rigorous.

All details and links to the forms on our site! I will link in the first comment, given how FB treats outside links. Looking forward to learning about your projects!
