rauschenberg medical emergency grants

The Rauschenberg Medical Emergency Grants program provides one-time grants of up to $5,000 for recent unexpected medical, dental, and mental health emergencies to artists in financial need* who are creating work in the visual arts, digital/electronic arts, video/film, and choreography. 

*To be eligible to apply, your average adjusted gross income for the last two years you’ve filed tax returns must be no greater than $80,000 ($160,000 for joint filers).

Please note:

• Rauschenberg Medical Emergency Grants are not for lost wages, living expenses,* or medical care for individuals other than the artist.

• The need for emergency funding far outpaces available funds. An application to this grant program is not a guarantee of a grant award. Learn more about the review and decision-making process at the bottom of this page.
