Bay Area Performing Arts Grant Deadlines
April – September 2023
SFIAF works with multiple artists to raise funds for individual projects that take place as part of the Festival. If you are a generative performing artist, or part of an ensemble or company in the Bay Area, that is interested in participating in the Festival in 2024 or 2025, please contact us.
This page contains a sample list of funding deadlines for the summer of 2023. If there is one we are missing that you would like us to add, please send an email to [email protected]
** Denotes that the next deadline is still to be announced, but this was the deadline for the last cycle, so we cautiously expect it to be somewhat similar this year.
This list will evolve over the coming months as foundations announce new deadlines.
