Activist Residency Program Application

Foundation House Activist Residency Program Application

Applications are reviewed on a rolling basis and applicants will hear back from us within two weeks of submission.

Residency dates are determined in coordination with activist teams.

Foundation House, located in back country Greenwich, CT, opens its doors for up to 5 days to established teams of activists and change makers (up to eight residents total), allowing these groups the time and space to be together under one roof to make meaningful progress in these beautiful and inspiring surroundings. Foundation House’s mission as a non profit center for learning is to focus on environmental, community and mental health, food equity and social justice. To that end, we host residencies, workshops, lectures and other meaningful gatherings on these topics. It is our privilege to be able to offer the space for activists and change makers to continue work on these critical causes.

Teams will receive a $5,000 grant to their organization, continental breakfast, and two full meals hosted by Foundation House. As a resident, you have full kitchen access, as well as access to studio space, a wide variety of common areas, and 75 acres of land to explore and enjoy.

We look forward to reviewing your application!
