Project Support Grants

Project Grants support special, one-time events which are in addition to the regular cultural programming of the applying organization or expand upon this regular programming. Consideration will be given to funding Capital Purchases that are important to the continued operation of an organization.

Eligibility: Organizations are limited to one grant per funding year: August 1 through July 31.

Maximum Request: Grant requests may not exceed 50% of proposed project expenses. The applicant must provide at least one half of the total cost of the project through matching funds and/or some in-kind services. No grant will exceed $10,000. Consideration for funding at $10,000 will be reserved for applications that have exceptional merit, a broad regional impact, or multiple collaborative partners.

Timeline: Deadlines for applications are Monday, August 3, 2009 and Monday, January 11, 2010.

Requirements: All Project Support Grant recipients must submit an Evaluation Plan along with their letter-of-acceptance in order to receive their award. This Plan should be referred to when completing the Evaluation Report at the conclusion of the project. Please read Guidelines for additional eligibility requirements.
