2) APPLY ONLINE BELOW

With a generous gift from the Oneness Project, Dances of Universal Peace International (DUP IN) is happy to launch 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 

• are keeping the Dances alive online during the pandemic (for example through the use of Zoom)
• are in countries/regions where the pandemic has abated and in-person gatherings are legally allowed
• contribute to DUP projects that aim to be self-sustaining beyond an initial event or meeting
• support next generation dance leaders.

When?
The next grant cycle opens on 1 January, 2022 and runs until 1 December, 2022. Awards will be made during the course of the year. Further details will be advertised in December 2021.

Applications related to in-person training events, camps, retreats, etc. scheduled more than six months ahead
will be considered, but funds will not be released this year and until the threat of event/training cancellation has passed.
