MAP Fund is proud to be one of the longest running, private funding sources championing cultural equity and formal innovation in performance practices. In 2024, we awarded $2.883 million across 93 projects, marking the largest one-time award distribution in our organization’s 36-year history.
Each MAP grant comprises a total of $31,000: $25,000 for grantee project development, $5,000 for grantee unrestricted support, and $1,000 microgrant for the grantee to direct to a peer artist of their choice. Grantees will use experimental music, public art installations, opera, multi-sensory media, live electronics, poetry, ritual, musical theater, puppetry, culinary arts and more to explore the politics of memory, healing collective trauma, cultural continuity despite colonization, expanding our collective understanding of disability and confronting catastrophe–from climate to pandemics to the violence of borders.
