Limit: 1 // Tickets Available: 0

L. Zhang (Civil and Architectural Engineering and Mechanics) 

Limiting Language
Organizations may only submit one application per grant cycle. Select the grant category that best aligns to your project.

Grant Categories

  1. Catalyst grants (up to $20,000) support stand-alone projects with a quick turnaround and are perfect for small spaces or first actions at a site or institution with a total annual operating budget equal to or below $500,000. Catalyst grants are eligible for an additional award of up to five (5) hours of in-project coaching. Projects must begin June 1–August 31, 2026 and be completed by December 31, 2026, because they are “shovel ready,” requiring no more planning or assessment, or a financial match.
  2. Scoping grants (up to $25,000) support initial assessments typically performed by independent consultants to understand how to save energy. Scoping grants are designed to assist institutions that are in the initial stages of assessing and understanding their emissions footprint.  Projects must begin June 1–August 31, 2026 and be completed by December 31, 2027.
  3. Technical Assistance grants (up to $50,000) support projects that have finished initial assessments, and need procurement and financing support for an identified efficiency project. This may include providing designs, specifications, or connections to energy services companies (ESCOs) for project support. These grants also support more complex studies or analysis required for pursuing major implementation projects. At the conclusion of a Technical Assistance grant, the applicant should be well enough informed to implement a project.  Projects must begin June 1–August 31, 2026 and be completed by December 31, 2027.
  4. Implementation grants (up to $100,000) support ambitious, innovative, and transformative projects that directly address institutional climate impact. Implementation grants are highly competitive and involve multiple stakeholders, collaborators, and organization-wide buy-in. They can act as seed funding for large projects, and often lead to matches for capital campaigns. Preference is given to organizations moving to electric from fossil fuels. Projects must begin June 1–August 31, 2026 and be completed by December 31, 2028.

Community Foundation for Southern Arizona: LGBTQ+ Alliance Fund Grants

Limit: 1 // Tickets Available: 0

B. Dodge (LGBTQ+ Institute)

Limiting Language
Only one application per agency will be accepted. However, if you are a fiscal agent for an organization, these applications will be considered separately.

Program Overview
The LGBTQ+ Alliance Fund is committed to advancing social justice and equity for all persons. The LGBTQ+ Alliance Fund acknowledges the complex intersections of race, ethnicity, culture, sexual orientation, gender identity and expression, socio-economic status, national origin, language, disability, and other social identities as experienced by LGBTQ+ persons and commits to grantmaking with an equity lens in pursuit of liberation for all Southern Arizonans.  To advance this aim, the LGBTQ+ Alliance Fund proactively seeks to provide funding to organizations led by and/or centering the voices, needs, and values of BIPOC, disabled, non-citizen, transgender, and gender non-conforming Southern Arizonans. The LGBTQ+ Alliance Fund prioritizes funding for projects that embed anti-racist values and practices in inclusive community and program environments.

Only one application per agency will be accepted. However, if you are a fiscal agent for an organization, these applications will be considered separately. The following are current Alliance Fund priority areas.

  1. LGBTQ+ Community Building, Advocacy, and Collaborations – Projects that bring the LGBTQ+ community together and enhance it as a whole. Programs that work in collaboration with each other to benefit the LGBTQ+ community in Southern Arizona. The Alliance Fund is interested in work that creates equity and solidarity, increases the well-being of LGBTQ+ communities, and advances gender, racial, and economic justice.
  2. Transgender Issues– We seek to support projects that provide information and assistance to help transgender individuals gain access to informed medical professionals and improve their agency, quality of life, and sense of belonging. This may include projects that provide personal development, economic empowerment, education, and training programs.
  3. Elder Issues – We support projects and organizations that aid LGBTQ+ elders in finding satisfactory basic support (housing, nutrition, health), in establishing good social networks, and planning for the future (estate and end-of-life issues.)
  4. Youth Issues – Our support of projects and organizations that aid LGBTQ+ youth include programs that focus on youth who are particularly disenfranchised, e.g., youth of color, rural youth, low-income youth, gender non-conforming or questioning youth, young women, and other youth in need of assistance in the areas of homelessness, education, human service, and safety.
  5. General Operating Support– We recognize that general operating support provides vital support to organizations whose mission/work is to primarily support the LGBTQ+ Community in Southern Arizona may apply for general operating support.

Terra Foundation for American Art: 2026 Exhibition Grants

Limit: 1 // Tickets Available: 0

V. Kamath (COM-P)

Limiting Language
Only the project organizer(s) may apply for support. If co-organizing with a partner museum, the co-organizers are encouraged to apply jointly. If co-organizers do not apply jointly, we accept only one grant inquiry per project, from whichever organization applies first (even if that letter of inquiry does not get invited to the proposal stage). Grants are not made to individuals.

Program Overview
Exhibitions can offer shared experiences and transformative encounters, leading to new ways of thinking and seeing art and the world. They are designed to be temporary and are often themed—inviting visitors to acknowledge and reflect on the intentions of artists and curators, bringing them into conversation with ideas beyond their own. Loan shows offer expanded access to art and ideas, offering something new to communities of visitors and to histories of art.

Grants will offset planning and/or implementation costs for temporary exhibitions primarily comprising artworks that are not part of the institution’s permanent collection. Funds may be used for costs associated with:

  • planning and research, including short-term positions (e.g. research fellows or assistants), convenings, travel, and advisory committees
  • interpretation
  • artist fees (except for commissions)
  • shipping, crating, couriers, insurance, and object loan fees
  • construction of temporary gallery walls
  • conservation/framing
  • programs
  • marketing
  • dissemination of research, whether in digital or print form

We encourage written materials to be multilingual when possible and relevant to the project and/or its audiences.

We are also happy to support related staff positions (up to 25% of the award amount) and indirect costs (up to 15% of the award amount).
