Grants

The Regional Arts & Culture Council (RACC) partners with private, nonprofit, and government entities to advance and boost artist services and creative communities across our region through grant programs and partnerships.

Partner with us!

One of the main ways RACC supports the region’s vital arts and culture community is through grant program partnerships. Building on RACC’s long history of offering grants on behalf of tri-county public investments, we are designing and implementing initiatives in partnership with private, nonprofit, and government entities.

Working with our partners, our grant programs are designed around a specific focus, tailoring eligibility and review criteria to align with partner goals. Grants are awarded through competitive processes  that include community members serving on peer review panels and evaluating requests. Artists and organizations who receive funding through a RACC partnership report on the outcomes of their grant-funded work.

RACC presents professional development opportunities for artists and administrators, as well as partners with other arts and culture service providers to make workshops, technical assistance, and other funding opportunities more accessible.

Sign up for our e-newsletter or follow our social media for announcements as future grant opportunities become available.
