Grants for Artists
Our vision is to make the vibrant, colorful culture of the Kurdish people more accessible to people around the world, ultimately changing the perception of Kurds from one rooted in violence and war to one honoring the collective creativity and zest for life.
If you’re a Kurdish artist who shares this vision, apply for grant funding. We want to support your work and share your vision with the world. We’re giving 5-10 grants annually, ranging from $5,000 - $15,000 depending on the scope of the projects submitted.
If you have a project that is in need of funding, learn more about our grant application process!
Support Our Artists
It takes a village to support the work of our artists who are sharing the Kurdish zest for life with the world. Consider supporting one of their projects or contributing to the Foundation’s General Fund.
