Prospective Applicants | The Puffin Foundation Thank you to all our fine arts, music, photography, and environmental artistic activism applicants. We are currently reviewing projects and will get back to you on a rolling basis through July 31st. We will reopen in September for projects in film/video and theater.
From 2/16/26 to 4/13/26 (postmark date), we will be accepting application request forms. Completed proposals are due by 5pm EDT on Thursday, 4/30/26. What is environmental artistic activism?
This category is for projects focusing on pressing environmental issues and the climate crisis in any artistic genre or discipline that Puffin funds. Projects that are solution-focused (not simply raising awareness) are prioritized. Please note that the project methodology and materials should also take into account environmental concerns.
If your project involves, for example, plane travel, or utilizes a lot of raw material, or in other ways seems to be contributing to rather than addressing the existential issues of human-caused climate change, our reviewers will take this into account. Grants from the The Puffin Foundation can only be awarded to US residents with a social security number, or to US based non-profits.
While we do, on rare occasions, fund citizens/permanent residents for projects taking place outside of the United States, we recommend that you include some information regarding the accessibility of the project to people residing in the United States. We are not able to provide status reports about submitted applications, so PLEASE do not call or email seeking such information .
Applicants will be notified via email on a rolling basis from May 2026-July 2026 until all applications have received a determination. The Puffin Foundation does not have the means to fund projects with budgets over $250,000, nor are organizations with an annual budget of more than $250,000 eligible for funding, even if the project budget is less than that.
Puffin does not fund travel, education, or the writing or publishing of books, even if such expenses are intrinsic to the project. For more details see Section 2 on our FAQs. The maximum grant size is $3,500.
We thank you for your interest in applying for a Puffin grant. Gladys Miller-Rosenstein , Executive Director
