For the 2025 Annual Grants Program, funding is made possible through the generous support of foundations, corporations, and individual donors.
Organizations may apply to ONE of the following grant opportunities:
BUILDING CAPABILITIES GRANTS
Building Capabilities funding supports specific opportunities which enable an organization’s effectiveness, overall growth and longevity as a nonprofit organization. Requests must be made for a particular initiative or project, not for general operating support.
Building Capabilities grants are limited to 30% of an organization’s annual budget (determined by the amount of revenue for most recently completed fiscal year), with a maximum of $20,000. You will select one of the following amounts and if funded, will receive the full requested amount. $5,000, $10,000, or $20,000.
CULTURAL EQUITY GRANTS
Cultural Equity funding supports arts and culture projects or programming that reach underrepresented populations based on race, ethnicity, age, ability, sexual orientation, gender, socioeconomic status, geography, citizenship status, or religion. A goal of CultureWorks, supported through this area, is to ensure everyone in our community has access to arts and culture, and the opportunity to express their culture through the arts.
