Frequently Asked Questions
What grants are available for dance?
Dance artists and companies can seek funding for creating new work, touring, production residencies, education programs, and operating costs. The NEA's Grants for Arts Projects supports dance projects, and national initiatives administered by regional arts organizations fund the creation and U.S. touring of new dance works. State arts councils and private foundations also offer choreographer fellowships and company support.
Who funds dance in the United States?
The National Endowment for the Arts (NEA) is the primary federal funder of dance, complemented by state arts councils and regional arts organizations like the New England Foundation for the Arts. Private funders such as the Doris Duke Foundation and the Mellon Foundation back dance creation, touring, and field-building, and community foundations support local companies and schools.
Are grants available to individual choreographers?
Yes. While many production and touring grants are awarded to companies and projects led by professional choreographers, individual artists can also pursue fellowships and awards from private foundations and service organizations. Independent choreographers without a nonprofit often apply through a fiscal sponsor or a presenting partner to access organizational funding.
