Funding Arts Broward supports, sustains, and enriches the arts in our community.
Funding Arts Broward Inc centers its giving on Broward County arts organizations, with recent support reaching theatre, music, visual arts, dance, film, spoken word, public art, and arts education. The grantmaker’s pattern is visible in repeat support for local groups across consecutive years, including Fort Lauderdale Children’s Theatre and Florida Children’s Theatre, both funded for art programming at the top of the recent-grants list. Another recurring recipient is South Florida Symphony Orchestra Inc, which received support in 2024, alongside other Broward- and South Florida-based institutions such as Hollywood Art and Culture Center Inc, Broward Performing Arts Foundation Inc, and Master Chorale of South Florida Inc. The foundation’s program mix also includes public-facing work, from art projects in public spaces to arts education for K-12 students through the Arts Access Grant category. Funding Arts Broward Inc uses arts-specific grants to back nonprofit organizations, cultural institutions, and community-facing performances and exhibitions. Its recent grants show a local funder working through both general arts support and named program tracks, with arts organizations receiving project support rather than individual awards.
In theatre and performing arts, Funding Arts Broward Inc gave $19,500 to Fantasy Theatre Factory Inc in 2024 and $12,500 to Slow Burn Theatre Company Inc in 2023. Music and choral work also appears in its portfolio: Gold Coast Jazz Society received $10,000 in 2024, while Florida's Singing Sons Boychoir received $10,000 in 2023. Visual arts and cultural institutions are another clear line of support, including $20,000 to Hollywood Art and Culture Center Inc in 2023 and $12,000 to Nova Southeastern University Inc Art Museum in 2024. The foundation also backs public-facing and education-oriented projects, such as $15,000 to Arts Prevails Project in 2023 for support art programming and an Arts Access Grant category tied to K-12 Title 1 school students.
Typical awards cluster tightly around a modest project-support range: the p25 grant size is $7,400, the median is $9,100, and the p75 is $12,500. The recent-grants list shows repeated support to the same organizations across 2023 and 2024, including multiple awards to South Florida Pride Wind Ensemble Inc, Broward Performing Arts Foundation Inc, Slow Burn Theatre Company Inc, Miami City Ballet Inc, Hollywood Art and Culture Center Inc, and Gold Coast Jazz Society. The foundation does not fund individuals and does not make program-related investments. Several active grant programs accept unsolicited applications, while the FAB Arts Grants for Nonprofits program and Arts Access Grant are listed as not accepting unsolicited requests.
