Need-based stipends are available to artists who would not otherwise be able to afford the time away that a Fellowship requires.

Stipends may be used to cover rent, utilities, childcare, and other expenses that accrue during a residency. They may also be directed toward equipment costs and to replace lost income.

MacDowell's stipend program is supported through the generosity of several foundations and individuals — including The Calderwood Charitable Foundation, The Pollock-Krasner Foundation, The Lesher Fund for Composers, The Marsyas Fund, The Rona Jaffe Foundation, and an anonymous funder.

MacDowell offers travel reimbursement grants to defray the cost of domestic and international travel to and from Peterborough, New Hampshire. Artists apply for travel grants by filling out a brief form itemizing travel costs and attaching all receipts. Reimbursement of travel expenses is based on demonstrated financial need.

Domestic travel grants are provided by The MacArthur Transportation Fund; international travel grants are provided by The David and Rosamond Putnam Transportation Fund.

Nonfiction writers engaged in long-form journalism projects are eligible to apply for small project grants through a fund endowed by the Calderwood Charitable Foundation. Project grants of up to $2500 are awarded to individuals who have been awarded a MacDowell Fellowship under the Literature category and based on financial need, the scope of their project, and availability of funds. These grants are intended as reimbursement for expenses already incurred and as support for the long-form project(s) worked on while at MacDowell.

MacDowell offers Fellowships covering the cost of a residency to all accepted artists. Named Fellowships have been established to recognize the generous funding from specific donors to support a particular field of work or honor an individual. There is no special application process for Named Fellowships; all artists accepted for residencies are considered for these designations. For more information on Named Fellowships, please visit our Sponsored Fellowships & Gifts page.

Gracias a la generosa ayuda de varias fundaciones e individuales—incluyendo The Calderwood Charitable Foundation, The Pollock-Krasner Foundation, The Mrs. Giles Withing Foundation The Leon Levy Foundation, The Lesher Fund for Composers, The Marsyas Fund, y The Rona Jaffe Foundation—los estipendios basados en necesidad se harán disponibles a los artistas que de otra manera no se les sea posible permitirse el lujo de darse el tiempo libre que requiere la residencia.

Los estipendios pueden ser utilizados para ayudar con la renta, gastos del hogar, niñera/os, y cualquier otro gasto que pueda surgir durante la residencia. De igual manera, el dinero se puede usar para la compra de materiales y para ayudar con la falta de ingreso.

Gracias al apoyo de dos fundaciones, podemos reembolsar sus gastos de viaje redondo domestico o internacional a New Hamspshire. Los subsidios para viajes domésticos se realizan gracias a The MacArthur Transportation Fund; los subsidios para viajes internacionales se realizan gracias a The David and Rosamond Putnam Transportation Fund. Los artistas pueden solicitar estos subsidios al llenar una forma detallando sus gastos de viaje, junto con todos los recibos.
