The Jorge M. Pérez Family Foundation at The Miami Foundation (the Pérez Family Foundation) is proud to launch the fourth edition of the Pérez CreARTE Grants Program (Pérez CreARTE), awarding over $5 million to arts-first organizations across Miami-Dade County that seek to cultivate a vibrant, connected and engaging arts ecosystem. In celebration of its 10th year of philanthropic impact, the Pérez Family Foundation’s 2025–2026 program will have a renewed focus on Arts Access, Arts Education and Artist Fellowships and Residencies. Applications opened on Tuesday, April 29, with winners announced in the fall. Eligible organizations may apply here.
Current arts-first grantees are invited to apply for renewed funding through a separate but parallel process. The Pérez family remains committed to supporting and strengthening the work of past and current partners while also making space for fresh ideas and new investments. The application window will close on June 13, 2025. All interested applicants should direct their inquiries to Jacki Altman, Community Investments Manager, at JAltman@miamifoundation.org and Belissa Alvarez, Director of the Jorge M. Pérez Family Foundation, at Belissa.Alvarez@relatedgroup.com, who will be managing applications and the awards process. Full guidelines for Pérez CreARTE can be found in English, Spanish and Haitian Creole.
