The Milagro Artist Fund is an annual grant program dedicated to supporting Oregon and Southwest Washington-based artists or artist groups working in any creative discipline. Established by Milagro, a Latino-focused arts and culture organization, this grant program is now in its fourth year and aims to uplift projects that celebrate Latino arts and culture.

The Milagro Artist Fund provides grants ranging from $500 to $2,000 to individual artists or creative groups working on projects within Oregon and Southwest Washington. Eligible applicants include artists residing in Clark, Skamania, and Cowlitz counties in Washington, as well as artists throughout Oregon. All funded projects must align with the mission of fostering Latino artistic expression and must take place between June 2025 and June 2026.

The application period for the 2025 grant cycle opens on March 5, 2025, and closes at 11:59 PM PST on April 4, 2025. An optional informational session via Zoom will be held on March 11, 2025, at 2:00 PM PST for prospective applicants. Notification of grant decisions will be sent out by May 12, 2025. Grantees are required to submit a brief project update/report within 60 days of project completion.

To apply, artists must complete the online application through Google Forms, attach a proposed budget expense spreadsheet, and ensure that past recipients have submitted their 2024–2025 evaluation report before reapplying.
