General Support Grants
The General Support Grants Program aims to provide general financial support to arts organizations in Multnomah, Washington, and Clackamas Counties, based on their artistic excellence, proven service to the community, administrative and fiscal competence and RACC grant compliance. The General Support Grants Program seeks to fund arts organizations and provide a wide range of high quality arts programming made available to the public.
NOTE: The General Support application process is bi-annual. The next opportunity for eligible organizations to apply will be in winter 2012. Applicants who are not currently receiving RACC General Support funds must meet with RACC Grants staff regarding eligibility at least two weeks prior to the published application deadline.
