This form is for dramatists (playwrights, composers, lyricists, librettists) to apply for emergency financial assistance from the Dramatists Guild Foundation. 

Please note: DGF's eligibility restrictions have recently changed. If you hold more than $15,000 in your combined bank accounts, we kindly ask that you refrain from re-applying at this time. 

While we hope our Crisis Relief Grants will be one time awards, we understand that hardship can occur unexpectedly and at different times during a writer’s career. With that in mind, dramatists may be eligible to receive multiple Crisis Relief Grants. First time applicants will be prioritized and multi-time recipients may experience longer processing times. 

DGF serves all dramatists based in the United States, regardless of their immigration status.
