Rush Philanthropic fulfills it’s mission through three core programs: Grants, Exhibition and Mentoring. The Rush Community Grants Program annually provides direct funding to over 50 non-profit organizations that offer education programming in all disciplines of the arts in New York City and South Florida

Rush Philanthropic funding is limited to organizations based in New York City’s five boroughs: Manhattan, Brooklyn, Bronx, Queens and Staten Island. Grants range from $5,000 to $10,000. Organizations must have programs focused on visual or performing arts with additional concentration on career development programs designed to expose young people to options within creative related professions.

While funding is traditionally on invitation only basis, interested organizations may introduce the Foundation to the work of the organization by submitting a one-page letter outlining the following:

•    Mission
