The program provides annual grants up to USD 20,000 for individuals and teams and USD 35,000 for institutions and collectives.
AFAC reserves the right to distribute its resources for wider impact. Given the high demand for support, it is not guaranteed that potential grantees will be awarded the requested amounts in full. It is therefore encouraged that applicants diversify funding sources for the submitted project.
When the amount solicited from AFAC is above USD 10,000 yet only covers a portion of the project’s overall budget, the grantee is requested to raise 70 % of the remaining budget in order to be awarded the grant.
The grant will be canceled in the event that the grantee is unable to procure that sum within 90 days of being awarded the grant.
The grant will be canceled in the event that the grantee does not sign the grant contract within 60 days of receiving it.
Projects must be completed within two years of signing the contract, during which time grantees are expected to submit the necessary financial and narrative reports.
No grantee will be awarded more than two deadline extensions during the grant period. Such extensions should be justified by the grantee and approved by AFAC.
AFAC does not offer mobility grants. Travel expenses may be covered by the AFAC grant only as part of project implementation.
AFAC’s Creative and Critical Writings grant provides support to critical arts and culture writing, theatrical writing, children’s and youth literature (including both adaptation and original work), graphic novels, short stories, and poetry, in addition to analog and digital publishing platforms. The final product must be in Arabic.
