Summary - Historic Grant Criteria and Recipients through 2019

FOUNDERS GRANTS CRITERIA for 2021 - Pending…
The focus and criteria for CTFA's FOUNDERS GRANTS will have changes.

Influenced by the impact of COVID-19 upon theatre, schools, artists, and all practitioners of theatre for children, CTFA is wrestling with determining what will be our part in triage for our field of TYA.

We will leave our 2020 criteria, as a bookmark in our website. The new criteria will replace it, when our focus and process is clarified.
FOUNDERS GRANTS support projects unique and new to the field that will positively advance the field of theatre for young audiences nationally.
Who may apply: 501c3 IRS certified not-for-profit theatres, and theatre artists in the United States.
