The National Endowment for the Arts (NEA) partners with the federal government to provide funding in all areas of art, including all types of environmentally conscious art . It awards organizational and individual grants that range from $5,000 to $200,000. The NEA's list of prior award recipients, located on its website, can be used as a resource to determine which grant range might be appropriate for you. All NEA grants require a certain level of expertise in your field.
The Daniel Langlois Foundation provides funding for artists working with science and technology. Langlois, the founder of multiple digital-media and equipment companies, began his foundation to support artists who use technology to explore the relationship between human advancement and the environment. Previously funded projects range from politically charged media installations to electronic music. The foundation operates out of Montreal, Canada, but offers grants for artists internationally.
The For-Site Foundation supports new art about "place," or the investigation of space and location. The foundation also awards fellowships of $5,000 to artists of any discipline working with any theme, including environmental themes. In 2009, funding went to visual artists whose works were displayed at the Haines Gallery in San Francisco in 2009.
Josh Greene is an artist and restaurant worker who provides small grants out of his own pocket to artists of any medium. "Each month, I dedicate one night's worth of my tips to fund a project. For the past 12 years, I have been doing art projects while making a living waiting tables," Greene says on his website. He has an interest in environmentally themed work, and past awards have varied from $100 to $400.
