Visiting Artist in the Classroom Grants Program

About this program

The Philanthropic Ventures Foundation offers the Visiting Artist in the Classroom Grants Program to support teachers in bringing professional artists or art historians into their classrooms. Grants of up to $500 are available to cover artist fees and materials, enhancing arts education for students in low-income public schools. Eligibility is limited to teachers at Title 1 or high-need schools in Alameda, Contra Costa, San Mateo, and San Francisco counties, with a maximum of five grants per school and one per teacher. Applications should detail the project, costs, and student impact, and are encouraged to be submitted promptly due to limited funding.
