LRAC Emergency Relief Fund – Round 3

Application Deadline: Thursday, June 25, 2026 at 5:00 PM

Artists and creatives in LRAC’s 9-county region experiencing a recent emergency are encouraged to apply for Round 3 of the Lake Region Arts Council Emergency Relief Fund.

Eligible applicants may receive a non-competitive $500 stipend to assist with emergency-related needs including housing, healthcare, equipment, and legal expenses. Applications are being reviewed on a rolling basis through June 25, meaning eligible applicants may receive funding as applications are processed rather than waiting until the final deadline.

To be eligible, applicants must:
• Be 18 years of age or older
• Have lived within LRAC’s region for at least 6 months
• Apply as an individual (not an organization or LLC)
• Have experienced an emergency within the past 12 months

The Artists Emergency Relief Fund Network is stewarded by Springboard for the Arts and supported in part by the F. R. Bigelow Foundation, Jerome Foundation, McKnight Foundation, John S. and James L. Knight Foundation, and Saint Paul & Minnesota Foundation.
