2022 MAP Fund Micrograntees

“This was clearly designed as an easeful, low effort, low friction, and consentful process. It means so much when funding opportunities do not create new stress or obligations.”
– 2022 MAP micrograntee

MAP is excited to announce our first microgrant initiative! Following artist-led mutual aid networks and our ongoing desire to expand MAP’s circle of support, we invited all eighty-eight 2022 MAP grantees to choose an artist in their community to receive an unrestricted $1,000 grant. Micrograntees did not have to complete applications, nor will they have to submit final reports.

This cohort of micrograntees stretches across 23 states and includes directors, performers, activists, musicians, educators, producers, playwrights, spoken word poets, researchers, composers, choreographers, and more. When asked why they selected their microgrant nominee, grantees wrote lengthy praises, including:

– “Her plays sit down next to you like a new, best friend who offers rare and valuable insight; well-observed, relevant, gripping stories; characters so alive they surprise you into laughter and tears; and a strong beating pulse of dramatic tension.”

– “She is authentic with her art and it is even more amazing that she is able to do this while raising a toddler as a single mama.”

– “He helped build a vibrant music scene and community in which marginalized and often isolated musicians could make connections and collaborate.”

Please join us in celebrating these incredible micrograntees:
