Adolph and Esther Gottlieb Emergency Grant

About this program

The Adolph and Esther Gottlieb Foundation offers the Emergency Grant to provide financial assistance to painters, printmakers, and sculptors facing unforeseen, catastrophic incidents such as natural disasters or emergency medical needs. The grant awards up to $15,000 (typically $5,000) as a one-time, interim solution, with no deadlines and rolling reviews. Eligibility requires artists to have a minimum of 10 years in a mature phase of their artistic work and demonstrate immediate need due to a qualifying emergency, excluding dental work, chronic situations, capital improvements, or projects. Applications are prioritized based on urgency and the Foundation's annual budget.
