Grants

PLEASE READ

Americana transitioned to a new grantmaking system and new online application portal effective April 2, 2025. Please review these guidelines carefully for information about the transition and the new system.

  • All organizations interested in applying for a grant from the Americana Foundation after April 2, 2025 must complete a registration process and submit letters of intent and applications in the new platform.
  • If you are registered and have submitted concept letters, applications, or other grant data in our previous grantmaking system, your data will be migrated to the new system. Please register as a new user in the new system and we will link your previous grant information to your new account after migration.
  • If you are registered and have in-progress concept letters or applications in our previous system, you may log in and access these drafts until May 15, 2025. Please do not submit these drafts. We recommend saving a copy of in-progress concept letters and applications to your local files. After May 15, 2025, these items will be inaccessible.
