Live programs funding arts & culture that your nonprofit can apply to now.
From Public Corp for the Arts of the City of Long Beach
Who can apply: Arts and cultural organizations in Long Beach proposing well-planned artistic, cultural, or arts educational projects that benefit the community.
From Eau Claire Area Convention and Visitors Bureau
Who can apply: Projects must be time-limited and open to the public. Priority is given to first-time cultural events and programming, innovative or experimental work, meaningful community engagement, and significant expansions or reimagined components of existing events. Recurring annual events without meaningful expansion, routine operating/staffing/administrative expenses, discriminatory organizations, political organizations and candidates, applicants that have not fulfilled previous grant requirements, and capital improvements or renovations unless directly tied to a new visitor initiative are ineligible.
Who can apply: Eligible applicants must be 501(c)(3) organizations; have annual operating expenses within the RFP guidelines, specifically an expense budget of $500,000-$2.5 million; serve constituents in at least one Metro Denver county, with at least 65% of programming serving those constituents; provide a clear narrative for use of the $100,000 grant; demonstrate commitment to equity, inclusion, or anti-oppression in the mission and internal practices; align with at least one stated focus area; and submit a response to the RFP.
Who can apply: Organizations must have a current IRS 501(c)(3) ruling; in special circumstances, a religious organization or public entity may qualify. Organizations must provide service within Ohio, with a focus on Cuyahoga County and Franklin County, including Columbus. The Foundation generally awards only one grant per organization per calendar year and gives priority to organizations it has supported within the past five years. Organizations not funded in the past five years are asked to contact Bob Dyer before applying.
From Idaho Women's Charitable Foundation
Who can apply: Must satisfy IWCF eligibility requirements and serve Southwest Idaho counties; proposals should align with the cultural arts interest area.
From Community Foundation of Broward
Who can apply: Applicants should align with the arts and culture priorities described by the Foundation. The page indicates support for Broward-based professional artists through a partnership with Broward Cultural Division’s Artist Innovation program.
