roots + futures microgrant
Design Action is offering small $500 Microgrants to fourteen Indigenous and/or Black college juniors, seniors, and recent graduates (within the last two years) pursuing theatrical design.
We offer this microgrant with the hope this can help with the costs of books/supplies, artistic materials, and general needs.
Eligibility:
Open to Indigenous and/or Black college juniors, seniors, and recent graduates (within the last two years) pursuing theatrical design.
Current Black and/or Indigenous graduate students are welcome to apply.
Grant Details:
Design Action is offering $500 to fourteen Indigenous and/or Black Students.
Money for this grant has been graciously donated by a donor who would like to remain anonymous but who has a strong commitment to young rising designers of color and their future.
Once applications are filled we will begin reaching out to designers individually. We will be asking to feature the student’s work in an instagram status update post. However this is not at all necessary to apply, and if the applicant wishes to do so, they can remain anonymous.

2-4 Examples of Work in any format of the applicant's choice (website, PDF, Powerpoint, etc).
A short personal statement (less than 100 words) outlining your design philosophy
A short proposal for how the grant will be utilized to further your career and artistic goals (less than 250 words).
