For this reason, there is no need for applicants to make a case for why a project is deserving of support; instead we ask applicants to speak directly and concisely to how they will specifically use $500.

Through Field Funds, members of 1518 were able to develop a new community-led theater project and perform pieces of it in-progress at Purgatory in Brooklyn over the summer. 💞 They were recently accepted to the Evolution Festival at the Center at West Park!
