Mental Health Microgrants

IndieSpace is excited to announce the reopening of applications for our $500 Mental Health Microgrant application. These grants, are designed to offset costs of vital mental healthcare for NY-based theatre makers.

If you have been previously awarded this grant, you are welcome to reapply if you are still in need of funding!

This application is open to all indie theatre makers, and are reviewed on a monthly basis. Eligible applicants will be entered into that month's lottery, with priority given to BIPOC, Trans/Non-Binary, disabled, and immigrant artists. Priority will also be given to applicants who have not been awarded with a previous Mental Health Microgrant in 2022.

If you or any indie theater makers you work with need support for mental health costs, please remember that each month we will be awarding $500 micro grants for up to 20 indie theater makers to use toward therapy, medication, meditation classes, and any other mental health-related costs. This application is open to any NYC-based indie theater artist/maker in need of mental health funds, even if you have previously been awarded this grant. Our next lottery will take place on October 1.
