Graham Foundation Grants to Organizations and Individuals

The Graham Foundation is dedicated to supporting projects that explore and promote architecture and the designed environment. Through its grant programs, the Foundation provides financial support to both individuals and organizations working on innovative and impactful projects in the fields of architecture and design. The Foundation's grants aim to advance scholarship, encourage experimentation, and support critical discourse within the architectural community. For organizations, the Graham Foundation prioritizes projects that assist in the production and presentation of significant programs that promote dialogue, raise awareness, and engage new and diverse audiences in architecture-related topics. The Foundation is particularly interested in programs that take risks, experiment with new ideas, and create opportunities for innovation within the field of architecture. By offering financial support, the Foundation aims to help organizations realize projects that would be impossible without this assistance. Individual grants are aimed at supporting those whose projects have the potential to advance architectural scholarship, foster new perspectives in design, or push the boundaries of what architecture can achieve. Projects are evaluated based on their originality, potential for impact, and feasibility, and grants are awarded to those who demonstrate a commitment to excellence and have a clear and realistic plan for executing their ideas. The Foundation’s overarching goal is to contribute to a vibrant and diverse discourse in architecture by funding creative projects that challenge conventional thinking and inspire future inquiry. Grants are intended to serve as a catalyst for broader conversations, helping to raise awareness about understudied issues, promote diverse voices in the field, and further the Foundation's mission of supporting the advancement of architecture.
