Description
The Pew Center for Arts & Heritage’s Research and Travel Grants help prospective applicants develop and deepen their professional and programmatic capacities. One of the Center’s two types of capacity-building grants, the program supports exploratory phases of projects that may lead to future Center funding. Support can also help organizations travel to consult with chosen collaborators.
The program sits within the Center’s broader commitment to a thriving cultural ecology in Greater Philadelphia. Its grantmaking supports substantive, mission-driven work that showcases the region’s artistic vitality and enhances public life. The Center emphasizes excellence, care, and conceptual rigor, alongside multiple perspectives, inclusive practices, and meaningful engagement with multicultural audiences.
