Fonds d'urgence pour les artistes de toutes disciplines

The Max’s Kansas City Project (MKCP) offers a one‑time Emergency Relief & Resource Fund to assist self‑employed artists in New York State who face a temporary financial crisis. Grants range from $500 to $1,000 and are paid directly to the creditor or third‑party service provider, not to the artist. Eligible expenses include housing, medical, and legal aid; psychotherapy costs are only covered if the therapist is an MD. Applicants must submit a mailed application package that includes a detailed letter explaining the need, 5‑10 work samples, references, a referral letter, and extensive financial documentation (bank statements, rent/mortgage, utility, phone bills, loan statements, credit/debit statements, invoices, unemployment award letters, pay stubs, and other benefit documentation). Selected visual artists may be asked to donate a signed, sellable artwork; non‑visual artists must provide a paragraph describing how their expertise supports MKCP’s mission. The grant is intended as a short‑term band‑aid to help artists regain employment. No application fee is required.
