We say it all the time: we love supporting artists. But, it is impossible to provide financial support to every artist we'd like to, whether the projects they're working on are lengthy in time, extensive in expenses or ambitious in reach. So, we're happy to share when organizations offer amazing support for creative people with great ideas like AOL is doing with their new Grant Program: 25 for 25. And, furthermore, our own Jen Bekman is on the Advisory Board, which will award twenty-five $25,000 grants to "tomorrow's ground breakers and visionaries."

Yes! You read that correctly: Twenty-five $25,000 grants! The only limitations are you must be 18 years or older and a "journalist, artist or innovator."

Here's what AOL has to say:

We are awarding twenty-five, $25,000 grants to tomorrow's ground breakers and visionaries--individuals with a creative spark to ignite. 25 for 25 is a call to journalists, artists and innovators who believe in the power of ideas.

The AOL Grant Program (25 for 25) is part of AOL's Project on Creativity, launched during AOL's 25th Anniversary year. We want to connect, empower, and support the next generation of creative thinkers. Inspired by Chuck Close's philanthropic work in art and arts education, we will be awarding grants to tomorrow's brilliant creators. We've assembled a distinguished 25 for 25 Advisory Board who will serve as a jury for the AOL Grant Program.

In addition to Jen, the board will include Chuck Close, Andy Spade, Tim Armstrong as well as experts from an array of fields in art and journalism.

Entries will be accepted from July, 27th - September 1, 2010, and you can submit your information here to request application materials.
