Emergency Relief Fund

The Emergency Relief Fund for Individuals grant is a $500 grant intended to provide short-term, quick relief to artists and creative people in the 9-county region of Blue Earth, Brown, Faribault, Le Sueur, Martin, Nicollet, Sibley, Waseca, or Watonwan who are facing lost income or unexpected expenses due to a personal or community-wide emergency. We encourage all to apply and to submit their application in the language that is the most comfortable.

This grant is not contingent on current or past grants received or applications submitted to Prairie Lakes Regional Arts Council.

The Artists Emergency Relief Fund Network is stewarded by Springboard for the Arts and supported by F. R. Bigelow Foundation, Jerome Foundation, McKnight Foundation and the Saint Paul & Minnesota Foundation
