OVERVIEW
Applicants may request up to $5,000.
The Rozsa Arts Management Program (RAMP) culminates with participants developing and presenting an individual Capstone Project. Capstone Projects produce a tangible outcome for participants that creates value for both the individual learner and the broader Arts Sector. After completing RAMP, participants are eligible to apply for a grant of up to $5,000 to implement their Capstone Project.
RAMP alumni have up to two years to apply for a Capstone Funding post-program.

The Rozsa Foundation is interested in supporting not only the organization and project but also in the continued learning and development of the RAMP alumnus. To that end, applications should consider the impact of the project on the organization or arts sector, impact on the skills and career development of the applicant, and alignment with the applicants initial Capstone Project.
Continuing in 2024, the Rozsa Foundation has partnered with Calgary Arts Development Authority (CADA) to make RAMP Capstone Project Funding available to Calgary-based participants who are working independently, for a registered charity, non-profit, ad-hoc group, grassroots organization, or within another organizational structure.
