Get matched →The Arts in Society Grant funds projects that help arts organizations and artists find solutions to civic and social challenges facing Colorado communities. You can apply for $5,000 to $35,000. The grant provides both financial and organizational support and does not require matching funds.
You do not need to be an arts organization to apply. Individual artists, nonprofit organizations, universities, schools, government agencies, human service groups, neighborhood organizations, and healthcare organizations are eligible.
This grant does not fund capital projects such as facility renovation or construction. Examples include: a dancer working in a hospital system to address nurse burnout, a community organization using art for participatory budgeting, and a public health department partnering with artists to communicate health priorities.
Every listing links to the organizer's official page. Always confirm deadlines, fees, and entry rules there before you apply.
Selected grantees will attend learning community meetings to build a support network, have a mini-documentary made highlighting their work, participate in evaluation processes, and have their work promoted through Arts and Society marketing channels.
Awards are distributed in April. You will determine the timeline to complete your project. Projects must be completed within 24 months of receiving funding.
