Summary
This is a unique residency opportunity is available for individuals with a passion for writing, research, and cultural exploration. This program is designed to support creative and scholarly projects that focus on heritage, storytelling, community, and the experiences of African American individuals and communities. It offers a peaceful and immersive environment for reflection and creation, allowing the selected participant to dedicate three months to their work while engaging with local culture and history.
Eligible applicants include individual writers, researchers, or scholars based in the United States. The program does not support businesses or nonprofit organizations—only individuals may apply. While people from any U.S. state may submit an application, the residency itself is located in the Midwest, requiring the participant to temporarily relocate for the duration of the opportunity. Transportation is encouraged due to limited public transit in the area.
The grant includes a generous unrestricted stipend of $15,000 to support the participant during the residency. In addition to the financial award, housing and studio access are provided at no cost, creating a space for uninterrupted creative or academic work. The selected resident will also have the chance to share their project with the local community through a public event or engagement activity.
This opportunity is ideal for those whose work explores African American culture, the roles of women in the arts, intergenerational storytelling, or other themes tied to cultural identity and social impact. The program encourages thoughtful, independent projects that demonstrate a deep connection to these topics.
Applications are accepted annually, and the selection process is competitive, focusing on the applicant’s creative vision, alignment with the program’s themes, and readiness for a residency experience. It’s a meaningful chance to honor cultural legacy while creating new, impactful work in a supportive environment.
If you are located in Arizona and working in the area of Arts, Culture, History & Humanities, this funding opportunity may be a good fit. For more relevant grant options that support your work and priorities, visit The Grant Portal and use the Search Grant tool to find opportunities.
