Deadline: 14-Dec-20
The ArtsWave is seeking applications for its Pride Grant Program to promote, celebrate, and create inclusive arts experiences that may appeal to or have relevance to the broader LGBTQIA community.
The ArtWave Pride grants will provide funding for arts or cultural heritage projects that advance Cincinnati’s reputation as a welcoming and inclusive community through the arts.
Funding Information
- Grant awards will be made up to $5,000.
Eligible Request
To be eligible for the FY2021 ArtsWave Pride Grant Program, the proposed programming should:
- Be participatory and social.
- Align with one or more goals of ArtsWave’s Blueprint for Collective Action.
- Engage and/or celebrate the LGBTQIA+ community.
- Not have received funding through another ArtsWave project grant since January 1, 2020.
Eligibility Criteria
ArtsWave believes that strong arts create strong communities and actively seeks to promote access, equity, and inclusiveness in its grantmaking. To be eligible for the FY2021 ArtsWave Pride Grant Program, an organization must meet all the following requirements:
- Have a 501(c)3 tax status or be non-profit in nature with an established fiscal agent.
- Be based in the Cincinnati-Middletown, OH-KY-IN MSA, which includes the following counties: Brown, Butler, Clermont, Hamilton, and Warren Counties in Ohio; Boone, Bracken, Campbell, Gallatin, Grant, Kenton, and Pendleton Counties in Kentucky; and Dearborn, Ohio, and Union Counties in Indiana.
- Have a primary mission to provide programs or activities in areas directly concerned with arts or cultural heritage for the general public.
- Provide programs or activities that celebrate the LGBTQIA+ community.

- Have not received funding through another ArtsWave project grant since January 1, 2020
- Embody ArtsWave’s commitment to access, equity, and inclusiveness.
- Proposed projects that have been funded already through the FY2020 African American Arts, FY2021 ArtsWave Catalyzing Impact, or FY2021 Young Professional grant programs are not eligible to apply. A recipient of any of those grant programs is still eligible to apply but must propose a different project for the ArtsWave Pride grant program.
- ArtsWave will not award grant support to organizations that, in their constitution, bylaws, or practices, discriminate against a person or group because of age, race, national origin, ethnicity, gender, disability, sexual orientation, political affiliation, or religious belief. In doing so, the program seeks to promote respect for all people.
