Description:
The Puffin Foundation, Ltd. offers grants from $1000-$2500
that encourage emerging artists in the fields of art,
music,
theater, dance, photography, and literature whose works due
to their genre and/or social philosophy might have difficulty
being aired. The Foundation does not have the means to
fund
large film/documentary proposals, grants for travel, continuing
education, or the writing or publishing of books.
The
Puffin, a species whose nesting sites were endangered by
encroaching
civilization, were encouraged to return to their native habitats
through the constructive efforts of a concerned citizenry.
The
Puffin Foundation adopted the name as a metaphor for how they
perceive their mission, which is to ensure that the arts
continue
to grow and enrich our lives. In doing so they have joined
with other concerned groups and individuals toward achieving
that
goal.
