Community Arts Grants

$500–$1,000 for community-level arts programming.

We support arts programming at the community level, designed to inspire and encourage continued development through the arts — because we believe in the value the arts bring to building community.

Past grants have funded everything from a chorale performance at Carnegie Hall to new theatrical productions to an award-winning film about 9/11 — varied in approach, but each aspiring to the level of excellence that only earnest dedication to a craft provides.
