THE CREATOR’S FUND
WORKING ON AN ARTISTIC ENDEAVOR AND NEED SOME FINANCIAL HELP? LET’S TALK.
“Stories are a communal currency of humanity.” -Tahir Shah, in Arabian Nights.
No truer words… and this is why the BEO is so deeply committed to the creative souls in our greater community. This fund is for the artist committed to a project that tells a story about the Basques and represents the Basque culture.
While the 2026 application process is closed, we encourage you to explore what the fund offers and watch for the 2027 opportunity to apply. In the meantime, if you (or someone you know) would like to support this grant program financially, keep reading to learn how — or simply help us spread the word.
Be sure to join our mailing list and/or contact info@basqueeducational.org, and someone will get right back to you.
What does the applicant look like?
An expressive individual who uses any medium within the performing, visual, and literary arts to broaden our understanding of the world around us. This individual will allow us to learn about our culture, traditions, and experiences. This is not exclusive to traditional art expressions such as dancers, painters, and book authors. We’re talking about ALL creatives: bertsolaris, musicians, opera performers, theater performers/designers/writers, chefs, photographers, filmmakers, architects, poets, journalists, etc.
The individual is someone who strengthens the Basque identity through their work and builds a connection between everyone else and the Basques.
You are welcome to make a one-time donation here. However, if you want to join the greater BEO circle with your gift, we have options. And we will show our gratitude in every way we can.
