The Foundation allocates at least $25,000 of its annual net income to grant awards for Burbank Unified School District’s schools, teachers and students. Awards are granted which specifically correlate to Burbank Arts for All Strategic Plan while demonstrating high-quality in-class instruction aligned to the California State Visual and Performing Arts (VAPA) standards.
- We will only consider requests for funds to support projects that occur during the standard school day during class time, are curriculum-based and have a direct connection to student learning.
- All funding requests for single-site projects must be signed by the school’s principal; and all multi-site or District-wide projects must be signed by the BUSD Arts Coordinator. This pre-approval is required to ensure all Burbank Arts for All Foundation funding is consistent with BUSD’s Arts For All Strategic Plan and present school needs and priorities.
- Grants can be awarded for integration of the arts in non-VAPA courses, too, so be creative!
The Foundation accepts applications twice a year for two separate grant cycles. Grant DEADLINES are March 15 and September 15. To learn more about specific grants and their deadlines see below:

BOWMAN PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT GRANTS (Spring Grant Cycles Only)
In 2010, Burbank Arts For All announced the Bowman Professional Development Grant. Dr. Gregory Bowman, retired superintendent of Burbank Unified School District (BUSD), generously allocated funding to support professional development in arts education for teachers in BUSD. His legacy as an arts learning advocate lives on through this gift. Annually each Spring the Foundation awards two Bowman grants, one to a group of teachers ($3,500) and the other to an individual ($750).
