Grants & Opportunities

About The Program

Responding to emergent opportunities, New York Folklore provides information about funding opportunities to artists and cultural communities. Opportunities can take the form of support for apprenticeships, internships, projects by individual artists, or capacity building support to organizations. New York Folklore continues to serve as a fiscal sponsor for grassroots cultural community organizations.
