We are back with another highly requested “playlist” (our special way of grouping grants) tailored for theater and playwrights. We hope this makes finding funding even easier.

There are currently (4) grants listed.

Note: These grants have already been shared with our paid subscribers in our monthly newsletter (August 2025 and September 2025) and other playlists.

Think of a playlist just as another way to filter funding opportunities, so bookmark this page for later. We will update this resource regularly with new awards we find.

Our other playlists include:

  • Asian American & Pacific Island, Native American, and Ingenious creators

  • Authors, writers & poets

  • Choreographers and dancers

  • Grants with no deadlines

  • Filmmakers

  • Photographers and visual storytellers

  • Musicians

  • Disabled Persons

Five grants of $100,000 will be awarded annually to support projects that represent visionary approaches to presenting new work.

Deadline: September 26, 2025
