Grant Funding

The grants we are actively applying for.

We are pursuing federal, state, and private foundation grants right now, the funding that protects the Bacone Collection, builds BEACON, and grows the endowment. This is exactly what we are seeking and where the dollars go.

$5M
2026 Goal
$5 million in grant funding raised this year.

Every grant dollar flows into the insured endowment, where it generates a quarterly return that funds the mission year after year. Grants do not just pay for one project. They build the engine.

Flagship Grant Priority
BEACON.

A Gathering Place for Climate Futures

BEACON is a participatory immersive experience at the Green House Gallery in Huntsville, Utah that helps people move beyond climate awareness into climate participation.

Through Indigenous art, storytelling, and spatial audio, BEACON invites visitors to consider what they hope to send forward to future generations. At its center is the BEACON Hearth, an immersive projection environment where each visitor becomes a contributor, leaving a story, memory, or hope that joins a growing community archive.

The project is rooted in the climate challenges of the Wasatch Mountains, including declining snowpack, changing watersheds, and shifting ecosystems. Informed by the legacy of the Bacone Collection, BEACON treats stewardship as the work of carrying stories, knowledge, and relationships forward for the people who come next.

What the grant supports Indigenous artist collaboration, immersive media, projection and spatial audio, and the open community contribution archive.
