Bay Area Performing Arts Grant Deadlines
September – December 2024
SFIAF works with multiple artists to raise funds for individual projects that take place as part of the Festival and our other programs. This page contains a sample list of funding deadlines for the coming months, from September-December 2024.
If a grant deadline is marked ** (and has no URL link) this 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. If there is a deadline that you are aware of that we are missing, please let us know. We are not infallible, if you notice an error in a deadline, please let us know that as well so we can make a fix.
If you wish to receive notices when this list is updated, please send an email to [email protected] with the subject title Add to Grant Deadlines Notice. Please also state whether you are an artist or an administrator and your affiliation.
