Questions
When is the next MacArthur Foundation grant deadline?
Nothing is open right now. The list below shows when each program last closed and what is announced next.
Who can apply for MacArthur Foundation grants?
Nonprofits and Small businesses can apply, depending on the program. Some programs are by invitation only. MacArthur Foundation doesn't give grants to individuals through these programs.
Do I have to pay to apply for a grant?
No. Real grant programs never charge to apply or to receive an award. Anyone asking for a fee before you get grant money is running a scam.
