Founding Care Grants

Supporting creatives facing cancer—when they need it most.

The J Gerard Peace Foundation is proud to launch its first grant cycle, providing immediate support to designers, musicians, and creatives navigating the challenges of cancer.

Our Founding Care Grants are designed to offer meaningful, timely assistance during moments of uncertainty—helping individuals focus on their health, their well-being, and their creative legacy.

About the Grants

For our inaugural cycle, the Foundation will award a limited number of $500 Founding Care Grants to eligible applicants.

These grants are intended to provide flexible support and may be used for:

• Daily living expenses

• Care-related needs

• Creative continuity or legacy preservation

• Other immediate priorities during treatment and recovery

We recognize that every situation is different. Our goal is to provide support with dignity, trust, and compassion.
