Get matched →Leeway Foundation funds women, trans*, and gender nonconforming artists and cultural producers living in Greater Philadelphia who create art for social change. The foundation's grantmaking programs recognize artists whose work is often marginalized because of what they create or who they are—including people of color, immigrants, queer and trans* folks, and poor and working-class people.
An independent review panel of community-based artists from diverse backgrounds in art for social change work decides who gets funded. Leeway staff does not make funding decisions. All applicants receive detailed feedback based on the panel's deliberations, though applicants may opt out.
Every listing links to the organizer's official page. Always confirm deadlines, fees, and entry rules there before you apply.
