Multicultural Arts Capacity-Building Grant

Multicultural Arts Capacity-Building Program Grants are available to support and strengthen multicultural arts organizations in an area of need. This one-time grant focuses on bolstering an organization’s fundamental efforts (e.g. marketing, development, website-building, or space acquisition) so it is an effective organization. There is no application deadline and awards are determined on a case-by-case basis.

Grant-awarded organizations, where applicable, will work with a consultant or organization on a single funded capacity-building need if specialization is required. In this instance, funding will be distributed directly to the vendor for the service rendered in accordance with the contract set forth by ArtsWave.

Eligible organizations must be established and emerging culturally diverse organizations that have non-profit status or are non-profit in nature. Applicants should have, or be working toward, 501(c)3 status. 

All Multicultural Arts Capacity-Building Program Grant recipients must submit an Evaluation Plan along with their Letter of Acceptance. This plan should be referred to when completing the Evaluation Report at the conclusion of the project.

Please read guidelines carefully for additional eligibility requirements.
