The Kentucky Foundation for Women offers two grant programs: Artist Enrichment and Art Meets Activism . The Artist Enrichment grant provides opportunities for feminist artists and arts organizations to enhance their abilities and skills to create art for progressive social change. The Art Meets Activism grant supports feminist artists and organizations in actively engaging individuals and communities in the development, creation or implementation of art activities that are directly focused on progressive social change in Kentucky. KFW awards $200,000 in grants annually, $100,000 in each program.
