About Opportunity

The internationally recognized Rauschenberg Foundation launches the Dancer Emergency Grants program, offering one-time grants of up to $3,000 to professional dancers facing severe financial hardship due to the loss or absence of recent or ongoing live performance opportunities caused by circumstances beyond their control. An international selection committee will review applications and select recipients based on their proposals and explanations of financial need.
