What Brought Us Here
Momo and Dark met on DeviantArt as teens and stayed in touch through their different paths in life. Momo became a designer and reached financial stability after a decade of working, while Dark built a community and streaming career, creating a space where artists can grow and support each other.Now with AI threatening creative jobs more than ever, it felt like the right time to team up and do something. One brainstorming session later, Artist Ally was born. Momo provides the base funding, and Dark raises additional support through charity streams. Together, they hope to help many artists to keep creating.

What is Artist Ally?
Artist Ally is a monthly grant program that provides financial support and encouragement to artists facing challenges in today’s creative landscape.
How much support is offered?
Each month, one selected artist will receive $500. Additional artists will be supported through funds raised through donations.
Who is eligible to apply?
Applicants must be 18 or older. We welcome artists at all skill levels who could benefit from support. You must also be able to prove your commitment and passion for art with proof of activity (social media presence, convention events, active shop, streaming, etc).
Does my portfolio need to be up to date?
We recommend that you update your portfolio (whether it is a social media website or your own). Show us that you are actively pursuing your career in art.
What can I use the funding for?
Funds can be used for anything that helps your creative journey such as art supplies, convention/merch costs, PC parts, living expenses, personal projects, commission work, or related needs.
How do I apply?
Monthly application link will be on the homepage. You will be asked to provide a link to your portfolio and provide some information about your current situation and how you plan to use the money. We’ll review submissions based on urgency, impact, and artistic skill.
Is the application confidential?
Yes. We handle all applications respectfully and discreetly. Your personal information won’t be shared outside the selection team.
Can I apply more than once?
You may reapply in future cycles if your circumstances remain the same and you still need support. There will be an update form for repeat applicants so you don’t have to rewrite everything.
Will my art be shared?
If you are comfortable with the exposure, we will be showcasing artwork from your portfolios during the Charity Streams.
How are recipients chosen?
Selections are based on the urgency of need, the potential impact of the support, and artistic skill, ensuring funds reach artists who will benefit most.
When will grantees receive their money?
As applications will close on the last day of each month, grantees will be carefully selected at the beginning of the month. Please expect to wait up to 1 week.
If you are in dire need of funds sooner, please look into other means! There is no guarantee you will be selected, so please be understanding. As much as we would love to support everyone, we must be as fair as possible with our selection process.
Will I have to repay the support?
No. This is not a loan but an investment in your creativity. We encourage a spirit of paying it forward in the future, but there is 0 obligation and no strings attached.
When will the charity streams happen?
Charity streams happen during the final weekend of every month, announced in advance on Dark's Discord. These events raise additional funds to support more artists.
