Please note the conclusion of the program

From 2003 to 2022, the MacArthur Funds for Culture, Equity, and the Arts at the Richard H. Driehaus Foundation (MacArthur-Driehaus) offered unrestricted support to strengthen and sustain small and midsized arts and cultural organizations.

The funding partnership between the MacArthur and Driehaus foundations sunsetted at the end of 2022. However, MacArthur will continue supporting small and midsized Chicago cultural organizations in 2023 and beyond through a new partnership with the Field Foundation.

The Driehaus Foundation board and staff are enormously proud to have supported the hundreds of cultural initiatives that have received grants from the MacArthur-Driehaus partnership over the past 20 years and send the very best wishes for the future success of those groups.
