Tweet Small Change is 0.00 micro-grants given to compelling arts projects that are pitched via tweets.
In other words, artists and creators submit an idea via tweet for what they would do with $140. Submission rounds are open for 48 hours once announced. The best are chosen — up to 10 per round (i.e. each round is funded at $1400.00). All we ask is that creators share their projects on social networks with the hashtag #tweetsmallchange or a reply to @achangetweeton Twitter.
We want to thank all of those who submitted projects for this last round. The list of those we chose is just a representative sample of the wonderful ideas we received. Choosing just ten was a difficult task. If we had the money, we would have wanted to fund them all.
Here are the ones we chose to receive micro-grants. We believe strongly in our support of each of these artists and look forward to seeing what $140.00 can do for them.
The small print: Projects can be anywhere in the US (we don’t want to mess with foreign exchange). It can be a project that can be done entirely within the $140, or the micro-grant can complete it, or whatever works for what you want to do. Our decisions are ours alone and might be entirely capricious, but hey, that’s arts funding for you.
