Q+A
What is the Studio Essentials Grant Program?
A grant created and funded by Revolution Dancewear with the intention of supporting and growing the dance studio industry in North America. Revolution is donating a portion of our profits from the sale of Revolution Dancewear, with a minimum commitment of $25,000 going to fund the 2023-2024 Studio Essentials Grant Program.
What is the amount of the awarded grants?
Grants vary in size from $500 to $5,000. The Grant Committee determines the amount to award for each grant.
Who is eligible to apply?
Applicants must be a verified dance business/association with dance students currently enrolled in classes in the US, Canada (excluding Quebec), or Puerto Rico. For a complete list of all the eligibility requirements, consult the application form.
When will the grants be awarded?
Grants are expected to be awarded Spring 2024.
How many grants will be awarded?
The individual amount and number of the grants distributed is determined by the size of the Studio Essentials Grant Fund at the end of the application period (December 31, 2023).
How are grants funded?
Revolution Dancewear is contributing a portion of the proceeds from every dancewear product you buy. Revolution guarantees a minimum of $25,000 to the 2023–2024 Studio Essentials Grant—but with your help, the fund grows beyond that. The more dancers that wear Revolution Dancewear at your studio, the more money we invest back into the dance community.
What can the grants be used for?
There is essentially no limit to the creative ways in which grant money can be used. The following examples aren’t intended to limit the scope of what you can do; only to help you get started:
Dance Scholarships
- Award a year’s tuition to a deserving student or a new dance family
- Fund a competition student’s fees
- Help out one of your dance families in need
Educational Opportunities
- Attend a business conference
- Fund teacher certifications
- Purchase new curriculum
Facility Improvements
- Replace your dance floor
- Update your computer system
- Refresh your waiting or changing areas
Or something else, such as...
- Offer free classes to your community
- Organize a new community performance opportunity
Grant recipients are required to use grant money for the purpose stated in their applications.
Who decides which grants are awarded?
All grant applications are reviewed by the Grant Committee. This Committee is solely responsible for determining grant recipients and grant value based on impact, diversity, plan for use and overall application.
How are grant recipients selected?
The Grant Committee selects recipients based on need and impact of the proposed initiative, with a diverse set of demographic and socioeconomic factors in mind so that the program impacts the dance community in a meaningful way.
When are the applications due?
Applicants must submit an official application between October 1, 2023 and December 31, 2023. Grant winners must share the result of their grant/finished product to be eligible for future grants (in subsequent years of the program).
How are grants taxed?
Winners may be subject to federal and state income taxes depending on your state and particular business structure. For grants to be tax-free, certain restrictions and limitations may apply. Please consult with your tax advisor regarding the potential tax implications for your business.
Can I apply for more than one grant?
Applicants can apply for one grant per application period (October 1, 2023–December 31, 2023). One application per dance studio/program only.
How do I apply?
The 2023-2024 Studio Essentials Grant Program is accepting applications from October 1 through December 31, 2023. Recipients will be announced in Spring 2024. Apply here.
