2) APPLY ONLINE BELOW

With a generous gift from the Oneness Project, Dances of Universal Peace International (DUP IN) is happy to promote a small grants program.

For what?
The program will award grants of up to $500 USD for projects that support the transmission of the Dances of Universal Peace.

For whom?
Applications will be accepted from the organizers of events and activities that promote the Dances of Universal Peace, and are members of the Leaders Guild.

Our goals
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 

• contribute to DUP projects that aim to be self-sustaining beyond an initial event or meeting
• support next generation dance leaders.

Bringing the Dances to new areas
If you are wanting to seed the Dances and Walks in local communities where the Dances have not previously been introduced, we will be looking for a development plan over at least 3 years. Please contact us with more details about your plans and to discuss how we might be able to support you.

When?
Grant Cycle 4 opened on January 1, 2024 and closes on November 30, 2024.

Applications related to in-person training events, camps, retreats, etc. scheduled more than six months ahead
will be considered.
