COMMUNITY ARTS GRANT
About the Program
The Community Arts Grant is a community funded grant that provides general operating support to arts organizations that enrich and inspire the Dayton Region through innovative performances, exhibitions, and informed educational programs for all ages. The grant is reviewed by a panel of community members, including grant writers, artists, arts administrators, and art patrons. Culture Works fundraises for and administers the grant, nurturing a collaborative feedback loop between regional arts organizations and the community they serve.
Applicants are placed into one of the following categories based on their annual budget:
General Operating Support (GOS) - Organizations with annual budgets of $500,000 to $10 million
Community Arts Development (CAD) - Organizations with annual budgets of $100,000 to $499,999
Specifically, the funding for these grants comes from our annual Campaign for the Arts—a community-wide fundraising effort that draws support from thousands of individuals, local companies, and foundations.
