The application process for our 2026 grant cycle opens October 15, 2025! Letters of Intent are due November 13.
If you’re interested in applying for funding for an art installation bound for the annual Burning Man event in Black Rock City, you must first submit a Letter of Intent which will allow the Grant Committee to select which projects will be invited to submit a full proposal.
To apply for a BRC Honorarium, please make sure you’ve read about the Black Rock City Honoraria program, check out the LOI Instructions and FAQ, and then submit a Letter of Intent via your Burner Profile.
Preview of the Letter of Intent Questions
All of the questions on the 2026 BRC Honoraria LOI form are available in a preview document. We recommend that you make a copy of the preview doc, compose your responses first in that separate document, and then paste them into the online submission form.
