The Kenneth Rainin Foundation seeks to further the memory of our founder and fulfill his vision of dramatically improving the human experience through collaborating with others with similar values to create the energy to make positive change. His vision was guided by the belief that improved quality of life is possible through innovation, inquiry, creativity and synergistic interactions.
To that end, the Kenneth Rainin Foundation is pleased to announce the launch of our new grants program to support dance, theater and film in the San Francisco Bay Area.
Dance & Theater Grants
The Foundation supports theaters, companies and service organizations that:
- Exhibit a strong passion for and commitment to the San Francisco Bay Area performing arts community
- Demonstrate a performance history in the San Francisco Bay Area
- Display artistic promise and vision
- Bring vital performances and programs to the public
Grants will be awarded in the spring and the fall of each year. The application period for the first grant cycle opened January 28, 2009. The first stage of the application process is a Letter of Inquiry (LOI) designed to take under an hour to complete online. The final date for LOI submission is February 23, 2009. On March 13, 2009, selected applicants will be invited to submit a full proposal.
Grant awards range in size from $5,000 - $50,000. Introductory grants will be project-based only.
The Kenneth Rainin Foundation, in partnership with The San Francisco Film Society, supports Bay Area filmmakers in the production of narrative features that through plot, character, theme and/or setting significantly explore human and civil rights, anti-discrimination, gender issues, sexual identity and other urgent social justice issues of our time.
