Community Grant Programs: Arts & Culture

We believe hands-on experiences in the arts provide educational, social and emotional benefits to youth and help sustain a vibrant arts and cultural community. We believe these opportunities should be available to all youth regardless of income.

Our Community Grants in Arts and Culture focus on supporting meaningful experiences that engage youth in the arts through activities such as:

• Learning to play an instrument
• Gaining skill in an arts medium
• Writing poetry
• Participating in visual or performing arts

We have a preference for programs that increase participation of youth from economically disadvantaged backgrounds.

We expect our grants to support arts experiences that are encouraged and accessible for all youth. Proposals for program funding must be able to articulate:

• Program’s fit with our stated priorities
• Program’s desired outcomes
• Organization’s plan for measuring program effectiveness in reaching outcomes.

Note: Requests for funding minor equipment needs may be submitted as part of the grant request. For major capital project and capital campaign requests, please read our program guidelines for Nonprofit Facilities Improvement grants.
