Purpose
Gaining Recovery in Transition (GRIT) Grants serve as an opportunity for the Greater Lansing region to fuel the grit they are known for – especially the arts and culture community thriving here. Those that are creating in the arts can apply for funds to gain, recover or transition into a new echelon of their GRIT.
GRIT Grants will be awarded to individuals that demonstrate the drive and knowledge to create and enhance their artistic abilities. Stipends will be provided for new projects developing the artist’s main body of work, projects that get at the core of their artistic practice, or projects they haven’t had the support or capacity for during the pandemic. Awards will be competitive.
Funding Priorities
- Projects led by and that serve underserved communities and persons, whose opportunities to experience the arts are limited by factors such as age, culture, disability, ethnicity, economics, geography, gender identity, language, nationality, race, religion, and sexual orientation will be given weighted priority in the granting process.
- Projects proposed by artists who demonstrate that the COVID-19 pandemic has impacted their artistic practice will be given weighted priority in the granting process.
