Summary
Grant opportunity to support arts-based projects that strengthen communities and expand public access to creative experiences. Funding is available for projects that bring people together through artistic expression, learning, and cultural engagement. Supported activities may include public performances, exhibitions, workshops, educational programming, community arts initiatives, and projects that integrate the arts with broader civic or social goals. The overall intent of the funds is to encourage creativity, foster participation, and enhance the quality of life across diverse communities.
The grant is available nationwide, including all U.S. states, territories, and eligible tribal regions. Both urban and rural areas are encouraged to participate, with an emphasis on reaching underserved or historically underrepresented populations. Eligible applicants are primarily nonprofit organizations, local or state government entities, and other public organizations with an established history of arts or cultural programming. Individuals and for-profit businesses are generally not eligible, though the projects supported often benefit artists, audiences, and community members directly.
Grant awards typically range from approximately $10,000 to $100,000, depending on the scope and scale of the proposed project. In some cases, larger awards may be available for organizations that plan to distribute funds locally or manage multiple community-based activities. Grant recipients are expected to use the funds for direct project costs such as artist fees, materials, production expenses, outreach, and program delivery. Projects usually require a matching contribution from non-federal sources, demonstrating shared investment and community support.
The grant prioritizes projects that show clear public benefit, thoughtful planning, and meaningful community engagement. Interests include arts education, cultural preservation, design, performance, visual arts, and interdisciplinary approaches that connect the arts with health, education, or economic vitality. Overall, this opportunity aims to strengthen local arts ecosystems and support projects that create lasting cultural impact.
