Year-Round Funding Resources 

Explore ongoing/rolling grant opportunities along with evergreen grants platforms.    

 

Grants for Individuals 

Since the Candid Foundation Directory mainly lists grants for nonprofits, we are limited on scholarship resources. If you are looking for scholarships, the best place to start is your school’s scholarship resources. For example, UT Austin students can use UT Pivot to find scholarships. You can also explore Candid’s full list of funders that have awarded scholarships, as well as their article on finding financial aid. 

Instead, we can look into grants that support individual projects such as the arts or research. Here are some field-specific grants for individuals: 

Creative Arts, Media, & Film Grants 

History Research Grants

Fiscal Sponsorship

Another option for individuals seeking grants is a fiscal sponsorship, where a nonprofit provides legal and financial oversight for a charitable activity or project that doesn’t have its own tax-exempt status. You can reach out to a nonprofit whose mission aligns with your work to see if they are interested in sponsoring your project. Some nonprofits openly offer fiscal sponsorships on their websites (e.g. Austin Creative Alliance).
