Supporting Diverse Arts Spaces
Request for Proposals
In the spring of 2010, the Ford Foundation and LINC (Leveraging Investments in Creativity) issued an RFP for an initial round of grants to support the planning and pre-development of vibrant new arts spaces. Called "Space for Change," the grant program was intended to support nonprofit arts organizations working toward buying, building, renovating, or becoming anchor tenants in vibrant and sustainable arts facilities that engage communities in new ways.
On Feb. 4, 2011, we announced the 12 exemplary organizations selected to receive planning grants ranging from $50,000 to $100,000. They are:
