Since 1956, the Graham Foundation has provided direct funding to individuals for projects that foster the development and exchange of diverse and challenging ideas about architecture and its role in the arts, culture, and society. As one of the few funders of individuals in the field of architecture, the foundation's grants provide important support for the work of emerging and established architects, scholars, writers, artists, designers, curators, filmmakers, and other individuals.

To apply for an individual grant, applicants must submit an Inquiry Form—the first stage of a two-stage application process. The online Inquiry Form will be available on Graham Foundation's website from August 15 until the deadline on September 15, 2016.  

Download the Inquiry Form Worksheet here to prepare your responses and gather requested materials before August 15.  

For more information about the Graham Foundation's grants and to learn if your project is eligible for funding, please see Graham Foundation's grant guidelines.
