Grants
The Cheslie C. Kryst Foundation awards grants to non-profit organizations whose primary services are in the arts. The grants will help expand access to creative programs in visual art, creative writing, music (instrument or vocal), dance, or theater.
Studies have confirmed that creative programming for teens and young adults can improve mental health conditions, including anxiety and depression. Creative programs can also improve feelings of loneliness and isolation, which greatly impacts suicidal ideations in teens and young adults.
Who Should Apply
