Grantmaking 2025 — Open Hearts Foundation Update on Our 2025 Grant Cycle In our most recent cycle, 165 organizations rose with courage and creativity. Each proposal was a vivid testament to the power of the arts to heal, connect, and transform lives. The collective vision was nothing short of extraordinary.
In response to the overwhelming volume of applications and the remarkable work being proposed, we’ve made the decision to fully allocate the remaining funds for this cycle. As a result, there will not be an additional grant round in October. All remaining 2025 funding has been dedicated to the Arts & Mental Health sector where creativity continues to be a powerful force for healing and connection.
Thank you for entrusting us with your bold ideas and unwavering commitment to this vital intersection. We’re honored to walk alongside you. We’ll be announcing our selected grantees shortly and look forward to sharing more opportunities to create lasting impact together.
Our 2026 grantmaking focus and process will be announced in the near future.
