​In addition to our general requirements: 

• Organizational budget not to exceed $2,500,000

• Project budgets must be $150,000 or below

• Grants will be awarded between $5,000 - $20,000

• Projects must be completed within one year of receiving funds

• Once a grant has been awarded, recipients must complete a 12-month rest period after the completion of the project, before requesting subsequent support
  (Ex: if a New Works grant is awarded in 2021, the recipient will not be eligible to apply until the New Works 2023 application cycle.)

• Legacy grantees are not eligible to apply for New Works grants. However, artists and organizations that are fiscally-sponsored by Legacy grantees may apply. 

• Competitive applicants can demonstrate a history of: 

  • Projects that feature a majority representation of Bay Area-based artists and contributors (Please note: The foundation recognizes that many organizational staff and artists have been forced to relocate due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Artists supported through the grant are not required to currently reside within the geographic focus areas, but they should have a demonstrated history of living and working in Alameda, Marin, and/or San Francisco Counties.)

  • Collaboration and community-informed practices, promoting meaningful relationships between artists and their communities

  • Prioritizing support for Black, Indigenous, artists of color and those historically marginalized by persistent cultural, economic, and racial barriers
