Dances of Universal Peace - Small Grants Program
Grant Application


Grants will be awarded to projects that meet the following criteria:
     • Promote the transmission of the Dances of Universal Peace
     • Support trainings, events, camps, retreats and other activities that increase participation in the Dances of Universal Peace
     • Pertain to the costs of an event/project, not the expenses of an individual

Priority will be given to grant applications for projects that
     • are keeping the Dances alive online during the pandemic (for example through the use of Zoom)
     • are in countries/regions where the pandemic has abated and in-person gatherings are legally allowed.
     • contribute to DUP projects that aim to be self-sustaining beyond an initial event or meeting
     • support next generation dance leaders

Please check to agree: I agree to acknowledge Dances of Universal Peace International's support in publicity for my event. (This will help others learn about DUPIN and our small grants program.) I have not applied for funding from the Beyond Initiative for this project. (We aim to avoid double-funding activities and events.) I also agree to submit a report of at least two paragraphs with photos and/or video within one month following the event. DUPIN looks forward to hearing about your event and, by applying, you agree to our sharing details of your event on our website.
