Ellis-beauregard Foundation
The Ellis-Beauregard Foundation's official website (ellis-beauregardfoundation.org) describes the foundation's mission, residency program, multiple awards (Visual Arts, Documentary Film, Choreographer), and project grants. The site includes news/awardee lists and links to application submissions via Submittable.

Ideal Applicant
Individual artists (visual artists, composers, choreographers, documentary filmmakers) proposing project grants, fellowships, or residency work, and small arts organizations hosting residencies or exhibitions, especially those able to meet the foundation's program deadlines and Submittable requirements.
Good Fit
- • Applying to a named program (residency, fellowship, composer, dance) listed on the website.
- • Project-based requests or artist honoraria rather than general operating support.
- • Ability to submit via Submittable and meet the stated eligibility rules (e.g., not currently enrolled in a school).
- • A strong artistic CV/portfolio and clear project timeline tied to a residency or award.
- • Willingness to travel for or host a residency; Maine connection is helpful but not required.
Geography
Recent grants in the latest year spanned six states, and prior years included grants across many more states, but a notable share remains concentrated in Maine (about 29% of dollars in the latest year), so the footprint is multi-state but regionally weighted.
Recipient Variety
Across three observed years the foundation has funded many distinct recipients (35 and 33 in earlier years; 13 in the latest year), with a mix of individual artists and some small organizations, indicating a broad recipient set rather than a tiny closed circle.
New Applicants
Direct application instructions are published (Submittable) and the filings show high new-recipient rates in recent years (about three quarters new in the latest year and over 90% new in the prior year), so unfamiliar applicants have a realistic path into the portfolio.
