  HOW THIS WORKS

​

  • Fill out the form below.  Please be thorough as an incomplete form cannot be processed. 

  • Submit by the last day of each month to be considered in the next months grant review cycle.

  • You must provide your legal name, cell phone and email address.  Also provide your nickname, if you have one.

  • Describe your ask for artistic support.   Please be specific with items requested, brands desired if that matters,  and each item's estimated cost.

  • We will review all applications within 4 weeks and provide an update to all applicants via email

  • Semi-final candidates may be contacted to interview on a video call so we can ask clarifying questions

  • Approved grant recipients will be notified by the end of the month following your submission.

  • Funding will be used to purchase requested items on your behalf and shipped to an address you provide

  • Funding will not directly be provided to approved applicants​​​​

  • A few tips on your application:

    • Make sure you itemize your requested items and include an estimated cost for each item, plus the total.  ​These will be returned for you to update and resubmit, or denied.  Denials can resubmit an additional two times if they want, so you will likely have another chance for consideration.  (We can't promise  anything if you choose to resubmit, but we can say that lack of details is an incomplete application to us)

    • If the total  doesn't add up to $1,500, please don't add filler items.  If we are being requested to grant $500 as that meets the dream for one applicant, it might give us a chance to offer an additional grant than we had planned.  (We like this!)

    • Some applicants have provided links to the website they would like to purchase the items from, if they are accepted.  We also have received an Amazon wish list inside an application.  (This is very helpful to us!)

​

If you are approved for a grant:

​

  • Purchase/Shipping of Items Approved --- The  program founder will contact you directly to arrange purchase of your requested art supplies, and arrange for shipping to a location of your choosing

​

  • Recipient Stories -- You will be asked to agree to be contacted for a follow-up in about 3  months to check in on how you are doing with your art.  We hope you will be willing to share your artistic journey on Pepper's MoonBeams social media so it can inspire others.  If your anonymity is important, your name/photo will be masked to protect your privacy.  To see examples of other stories, check here
