Arts Impact Endowment — Individual Artist Grant

San Francisco-based individual artists at least 18 who have lived in the City and County of San Francisco for at least two years may apply to the Arts Impact Endowment (AIE). Full-time students are ineligible. The standalone San Francisco Artist Grants category merged into AIE for FY25-26.

Individual artists may receive up to $50,000 over a 25-month grant term across three funding channels (ongoing work, growth and planning, or new project support). Funded work must take place in San Francisco with public benefit.

The FY25-26 AIE deadline was November 13, 2025 at noon. SFAC notes FY26-27 categories are not yet posted; AIE remains the active individual-artist vehicle.

San Francisco Arts Commission administers the program under its Community Investments grants portfolio.
