Having the nonprofit 501(c)(3) status is the basic eligibility requirement to apply for most grants available from government, corporate and foundation grants.

The arts is one of the few categories of funding that awards grants to individual applicants.

The overwhelming majority of grants are only available to tax-exempt nonprofit organizations 501(c)(3) organizations and publicly-funded entities like schools, libraries, hospitals, parks, etc.

One of the first places to look is U.S. cities and counties that have departments dedicated to the arts.  Sometimes called "Arts Agencies," "Cultural Arts Departments" or something similar.

Larger cities are more likely to have budgets to support some type of Arts Department.  Those that do, may offer grants to arts organizations, as well as to individuals, to produce community festivals, musical projects and other types of arts programs.  If they do offer grants from public funds, they are required by law to make an announcement and post the information so that the public is aware of the opportunity. 
To get information on upcoming opportunities, stay-tuned to The Grantbuilder Blog.  Learn how to locate grant opportunities for the art at the (Saturday, August 20th, 11am - 1pm) FREE Grant Writing Workshop hosted by the City of Inglewood CA at Inglewood Library.  Register by filling out the brief online registration form at: www.TheGrantbuilder.com.

Take a Peek at a Few K-12 Grant Opportunities

8/1/2016

Comments

 
Once you learn where to look, finding grant opportunities is a simple process.  It can be time-consuming, but if you have access to the internet, it is very easy to find millions available in grants for all types of organizations and programs.

I will demonstrate the step-by-step "how to" use the internet and other free resources to identify grant opportunities during the FREE grant writing workshop in Inglewood, CA on Sat, August 20th.

Over the next few weeks, this blog will highlight a variety of grants.   Let's start this week by taking a peek at three grants appropriate for K-12 programs.  We will share website links and contact information for the funding sources, as well as details about the application process during the workshop.  Afterwards, we will post that information on the website for easy access.

If you work with K-12 children, this week's blog  is ready-made for you. 
 As you peruse the following information, I encourage you to think about the type of program that you would want to create, maintain or expand.  Get a head start on developing your concept by putting a little thought into it before the grant application is due.
