The MAP Fund supports the development and production of original live performance projects that embody a spirit of deep inquiry, particularly those that question, disrupt, and complicate notions of social and cultural hierarchies. MAP was originally established in 1988 by The Rockefeller Foundation and became an independent organization in 2016. MAP has provided over $33 million in support to more than 1,000 projects and thousands of artists within them over the past 33 years.
