This application-based program is open to organizations that have previously been awarded an Artist Choice award.

Each year, a relevant theme frames the grant questions. For 2025, organizations were asked to respond to a series of prompts relating to the year’s guiding question: What knowledges can we unearth to reorganize how we think, work, and be in this world?

The multi-year program grants $150,000 over three years in unrestricted support; applications are initially reviewed by a rotating group of readers working across disciplines and regions.

Grant recipients with fiscal sponsorship are noted with an asterisk in the listings.
