The Micro Grant Program is one of several recent City initiatives targeted to the Broad Street Arts and Cultural District. The purpose of the program is to increase the activity and vibrancy of the Arts and Cultural District through the combined effect of several, small grant funded projects and improvements. Two categories of grants are available: project support and capital improvements. Project support grants of up to $1,000 are designed to help fund special events, installations or activities presented within the boundaries of the District. Projects can be of any medium or cultural discipline and must have a component that is free and open to the general public. Capital improvements grants of up to $2,500 are available to fund items that can substantially increase an entity’s ability to host arts and cultural related activities for the general public.
The next application deadline is April 1, 2014 at 5 p.m. Applications for the Micro Grant program are accepted on an ongoing quarterly basis. Successful applicants will be notified in mid-May.
Grants are available to individuals, businesses or organizations in the Arts and Cultural District. Entities located outside of the district should partner with a lead organization located within the Arts and Cultural District. Applicants are not required to be a nonprofit.
