Dance Hall of Fame Foundation Grants
Elevating Dance, Preserving Its Legacy.
The Dance Hall of Fame Foundation will periodically provide grants to organizations and individuals that demonstrate financial need that increase national and international visibility, learning and recognition — for the art form of dance and the history of dance.
Informed by the DHOF Foundation’s priorities, its Board of Directors will proactively research and seek potential applicants. Deadlines for completed grant proposals will be on a rolling basis.
Applicants must be a qualified tax-exempt charitable organization, utilize a pre-approved fiscal sponsor, or are individuals or organizations that engage in activities that promote the art or history of dance and meet DHOF’s criteria.
The DHOF Board of Directors will objectively review all applications to determine if the organization or individual meets the DHOF Foundation’s criteria and demonstrate financial need. DHOF Foundation does not discriminate on the basis of race, gender, or ethnicity for determining grants.
