**The Anonymous Was A Woman Environmental Art Grants (AWAW EAG) provides grants of up to $20,000 to environmental art projects led by women-identifying artists in the United States and U.S. Territories.**

The AWAW EAG supports environmental art projects that inspire thought, action, and ethical engagement. Projects should not only point at problems, but aim to engage an environmental issue at some scale. Proposals should illustrate thorough consideration of a project’s ecological and social ethics. Projects that explore interdependence, relationships, and systems through Indigenous and ancestral practices are encouraged to apply.

For the 2025 cycle, the program will distribute over $520,000 in funding. This more than doubles the yearly funding since AWAW EAG’s inaugural year, offering more artists the opportunity to have their projects funded.

Environmental Art Grants

This program provides one-time grants of up to $3,000 to professional dancers in need, who have a dire financial emergency 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 rental housing, medicine/healthcare, utilities, transportation 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. You must present an urgent and critical need for emergency support in your application.

The Chicago-based Harpo Foundation was established in 2006 to support emerging visual artists, stimulate creative inquiry, and encourage new modes of thinking about art.

To that end, the foundation is inviting applications for its Visual Artists Grants program. Through the program, grants of up to $10,000 will provide direct support to underrecognized visual artists age 21 or older. Applications are evaluated on the basis of the quality of the artist’s work, the potential to expand aesthetic inquiry, and its relationship to the foundation’s priority to provide support to visual artists who are under recognized by the field.

The Doug Pensinger Photography Fund supports emerging and early-career sports photographers. 

  
Photographers with more than 3 years cumulative paid professional sports photography experience are considered beyond the scope of the DPPF's programs.

  
The DPPF is committed to promoting inclusivity and diversity and to providing free merit-based access to its programs. International applicants should also be aware that the DPPF is not able to provide support for visa procurement.

  
Previous DPPF grant recipients are not eligible to apply.

**7 photographers will receive:**

  
* A $5,000 grant, to be spent on career development
* Expenses-paid trip to the next DPPF Sports Photography Gathering (see below).

  
In addition to the main grants program, the DPPF also awards Development Grants supporting sports photographers whose portfolios demonstrate talent and technical skills while their biographies and essays reflect significant economic, geographic and/or cultural challenges that have impacted their ability to advance their careers. After the Primary Grants are awarded, up to three of the remaining applicants will be chosen to receive a Development Grant of $2,500.
