November 15: Florence Regional Arts Alliance Grants Deadline for Projects in April, May and June

The Quarterly Grants Program for Organizations & Individual Artists is designed to provide support for a wide variety of quality arts projects, as well as for professional development opportunities for artists and arts administrators.

Organizations must be based in Florence County with a Florence County mailing address and be registered charitable organizations with federal non-profit status. Individual artists must be practicing artists and have a Florence County mailing address. Individual artists must be over the age of 18 at the time of application. Individual artists cannot apply for funding for projects that are related to academic credit.

Applications from organizations or artists with overdue or incomplete grant reports from previously awarded Quarterly Grants will not be considered for funding.

No entity or individual can receive more than two (2) grants per year (Quarters 1 through 4). No entity or individual can apply for more than one (1) grant per quarterly deadline.

Projects must begin in the quarter of application, but can extend past the end of the quarter. Final reports are due within 30 days of the end date of the project or June 30th, whichever date comes first.

Funding Information
All applicants are eligible to apply for up to $2,500 in funding. All applicants are required to make a 2:1 match. No more than 50% of that match can be in-kind.
