SW!NG OUT Community Fund

SW!NG OUT Community Fund supports the sustainability of social swing dance in New York City. By offering grants to individuals, community groups, and organizations, the Fund aims to make NYC the strongest Lindy Hop community in the world.

Round 1 application has closed. Applicants will be notified of their acceptance to Round 2 by February 11th.

Here’s how it works:

• January 2025, the Round 1 grant application goes live, and interested NYC Lindy Hop community members/organizations can apply.

• February 2025, selected applicants will be invited to submit a full grant proposal for Round 2.

• March 2025, S!OCF Officers convene and agree upon recipients of first-year funding.

• April 2025, funds are sent to grantees, and Lindy Hop thrives in NYC!

  Other important details:

• All donations are tax-deductible thanks to a fiscal sponsorship with The Joyce Theater Foundation.

• No S!OCF officers are paid for their fundraising labor, which affirms that your donation goes directly towards supporting Lindy Hop initiatives in NYC. Our only overhead: hosting this website and a nominal fee towards Joyce Theater Foundation for processing our tax-exempt donations.

  Current S!OCF officers:
