Money, Money, Money-The City of Sacramento’s Office of Arts and Culture in partnership with Sacramento County is offering grants to assist with general operating expenses for Arts and Culture nonprofits located in the city, county and unincorporated Sacramento. Please note that colleges, universities, and units of government with ongoing art programming may also apply.
The $925,000 Cultural Arts Awards program is being administered by the City of Sacramento’s Office of Arts and Culture. The grants are funded by the City’s Measure U tax and general fund dollars, and by Sacramento County. Applications are due Jan. 21, 2022. To be eligible for funding, organizations must meet standards of diversity and equity, cultural and community impact and show sound management and financial accountability.
Applications will be reviewed and scored by a diverse panel of arts and culture nonprofit experts and community representatives. Proposal review meetings and rankings are open to the public and will be announced in advance. We have heard from the community, businesses and non-profits how much grant writing assistance is needed, so guess what? The Office of Arts and Culture will be providing grant writing workshops and grant writing mentor support to those interested in applying. Grant writing mentors will be available by appointment Jan. 4-21 and workshop dates will be announced shortly. Applicants with further questions can email artgrants@cityofsacramento.org
Grants are expected to be awarded in March 2022. More information on eligibility and how to apply can be found on the City’s website.
