A Portland, Oregon-based 501(c)3 non-profit providing micro-grants for new, emerging, and striving artists
We provide targeted micro-grants between $50 to $5,000 to help artists find the space to create, and build their audience and community.
We depend on individual donors to help fund the grants that enable artists to create; we leverage small donations to make a huge impact. Support us.
Our mission is to provide support to artists so that they are freer to create and make the world a more beautiful place
We are volunteers who love and appreciate the impact of art on our communities; we work together with artists and donors to make the world more beautiful and enable artists to create. Support us.
We fund all artists, from painters to poets, from material to performance artists, and from photographers to models; all we ask is that you share with us how our grants supported you.
Micro-grants are the ideal model to enable art to be created right now; we quickly fund requests for materials, for studio space, and for cash to help with the costs of making art. Apply for a micro-grant.
The Marais Foundation is 100% volunteer-managed and donor-supported with $0.90 of every dollar directly supporting artists
