Description:
This program provides up to $2,500 to help eligible organizations move forward quickly on arts-related work or capacity needs. Funds can support things like planning for a public art project, strategic planning or board training, costs to apply for 501(c)(3) status, small equipment purchases, or small arts projects. It’s designed for smaller, targeted needs that can be executed on a short timeline, and can also support newer groups using a fiscal sponsor if they are not yet incorporated as a nonprofit.
