The Kentucky Foundation for Women offers two grant programs: Artist Enrichment and Art Meets Activism. 

The Artist Enrichment grant provides opportunities for feminist artists and arts organizations to enhance their abilities and skills to create art for positive social change. 

The Art Meets Activism grant supports feminist artists and organizations in actively engaging individuals and communities in artmaking that is directly focused on positive social change in Kentucky.
