News To Use – Volume 145

The Foundation provides individuals with opportunities to create, develop, and communicate a project about architecture and the designed environment that will contribute to their creative, intellectual, and professional growth at crucial or potentially transformative stages in their careers. Two types of grants are offered. Production and Presentation Grants up to $20,000 each assist individuals with the production-related expenses that are necessary to take a project from conceptualization to realization and public presentation, e.g. publications, exhibitions, installations, films, new media projects, and other public programs. Research and Development Grants up to $10,000 assist individuals with seed money for research-related expenses such as travel, documentation, materials, supplies, and other development costs. A recipient of a Research and Development Grant is eligible to apply for a Production and Presentation Grant for the same project once the first grant has been satisfied, however, future funding is not guaranteed.
