With support from the John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation, the Richard H. Driehaus Foundation annually offers funding for small Chicago theater and dance companies.

This funding program was designed specifically to address the needs of small professional companies. The program’s goal is to encourage a continuation of Chicago’s richness in the performance of dance and theater. To that end, the program accepts proposals only from companies that emphasize professional presentation instead of education or community outreach.

The program will make unrestricted grants ranging from $3,000 to $10,000 each to dance and theater companies that reside in the Chicago metropolitan area, have produced at least one show in the Chicago area, and have annual operating budgets of less than $150,000.

For guidelines and application, visit the Driehaus Foundation Web site.
