Understand guideline and funding cycles
MacArthur publishes program guidelines to help applicants determine whether their idea for a grant fits within a particular grantmaking strategy.
As a general rule, applicants should base this decision on three related criteria that appear in program guidelines: the topical focus addressed by the grantmaking strategy; the geographic area covered by the grantmaking strategy; and, finally, the type of funding (i.e., general operating support, research, program support, etc.) that supports the grantmaking strategy.
Like most strategic grantmaking foundations, the MacArthur Foundation considers funding only those applications that closely match the topical, geographic, and funding criteria for a specific grantmaking strategy.
The deadline to submit applications for the current round of International Connections Fund grants has passed. Read the press release announcing the 2012 recipients.
Overview
To encourage a greater sharing of experiences and international learning, the MacArthur Foundation has established a $1 million fund to help eligible non-profit arts and culture organizations advance their work by collaborating with peer organizations abroad.
