Description
The Graham Foundation’s Grants to Organizations program offers Production and Presentation grants for projects that bring significant ideas about architecture and related fields into the public realm. Funding supports production-related expenses needed to move projects from concept to realization, including exhibitions, films, video, new media and web projects, public programs, and publications. The program seeks work that promotes dialogue, raises awareness, and engages public audiences.
The Foundation prioritizes experimentation and risk-taking, recognizing organizations as public forums where ideas and work—including those of individuals—can be shared. It seeks to enable projects that would not otherwise be possible and to provide meaningful support at key moments in their development. Review emphasizes originality, critical inquiry, and contributions to architectural discourse, including underexamined issues and diversity in subjects, participants, and audiences.
