Project Grants

Project Grants (under $10,000)

Project Grants support special, one-time events which are in addition to the regular cultural programming of the applying organization or expand upon this regular programming. Consideration will be given to funding Capital Purchases that are important to the continued operation of an organization.  Please review the Guidelines (below) for additional information on eligibility.

Eligibility: Organizations are limited to one grant per funding year: September 1 through August  31.  Please note that any organization that receives funding under ArtsWave’s new Impact Funding Model is not eligible to apply for project support.

Maximum Request: Grant requests may not exceed 50% of proposed project expenses. The applicant must provide at least one half of the total cost of the project through matching funds and/or some in-kind services. No grant will exceed $9,999. Consideration for funding at $9,999 level will be reserved for applications that have exceptional merit, a broad regional impact, or multiple collaborative partners.

Timeline: Deadlines for applications are Wednesday, August 1, 2012 and Monday, January 7, 2013.

Requirements: If an organization’s grant application is funded, it will receive a letter–of-acceptance along with a Project Evaluation Plan by mail.  The completed Evaluation Plan, along with a letter-of-acceptance, must be returned to ArtsWave in order to receive the award. This Plan should be referred to when completing the Evaluation Report at the conclusion of the project.
