Flying Fruit Fly Foundation
Concentration RiskGiving Philosophy
FFFC operates as an arts training and production organization rather than a traditional grant-making foundation. Its 'giving' philosophy focuses on providing subsidized or free access to circus training, facilities, and performance opportunities for young people, particularly in regional areas. The organization reinvests surplus funds into infrastructure, programs like Circus Passport for First Nations communities, and the Under Construction residency program that provides free access to facilities, accommodation, and seed funding for emerging circus artists.
Tips for Applicants
Flying Fruit Fly Foundation does not appear to operate a traditional external grants program. For funding or partnership opportunities, organizations should engage with their specific program initiatives: Circus Passport (Regional Arts Fund-supported community partnerships), Under Construction residency program (open to circus artists developing new work), or National Training Project collaborations. Contact them directly through their website to discuss partnership opportunities.
