2022 Artist Open Grant

APPLICATIONS ARE NOW CLOSED

GRANT WINNER ANNOUNCEMENT

I'm so happy to announce the winners of the 2022 Matching Grant!
Camp Bedford Band is having an EP Release at the end March 2022 and I'll be using funds from my patreon support to match their ticket sales up to $500

It's a dream to have the support that I've found on Patreon, and I want to see other musicians and artists receive the same support. 

Head out to the Sultan Room and spread the word! 


It has been a dream for many to live off of their art as their primary means of income, but it's a challenge to get started on that path.  When I first launched my patreon, I was just starting to believe in my ability to make it as a poet.

It was a goal and a dream to think that Patreon could provide such a significant percentage of achieving that goal, so I decided to make a $500 goal of setting up a matching grant for other artists getting started on their journey, and just a month or two ago, we did it! I will be launching another grant when hitting the goal of $1,000/month in support.

If you (or an artist you know) is looking to launch a project that they plan on fundraising for, this $1,000 matching grant could be a great fit to bolster or fund a small to medium sized art project.

Here are the guidelines I used to direct my decision making process:

What we fund:

-art projects with a planned budget and a clear route to fundraising.

-all mediums, no restrictions on spending.
-arts projects with a kickstarter/gofundme that will be active in 2023

-artists creating grassroots projects 

What we don't fund:

-arts organization or 501c3

-projects with a working budget of under $500

-businesses or non-art personal projects by artists
