Quick Grant Program in the United States

Deadline: 15-Nov-21

The Center for Cultural Innovation (CCI) has announced Quick Grant Program to award reimbursement funds to California artists, creatives, cultural practitioners, and cultural producers, and San Francisco/San Jose nonprofit arts administrators to participate in professional development activities that build administrative capacity, hone business skills, and strengthen the financial sustainability of the grantee’s practice, area of cultural production, or arts organization.

Funding Information

Quick Grant program awards reimbursement funds up to $600.

Eligible Activities

Professional development activities that build administrative capacity, hone business skills, and strengthen the financial sustainability of the grantee’s practice, area of cultural production, or arts organization.
Activities must begin after application notification. For example, for the upcoming November 15, 2021 deadline, the proposed activity must start on or after December 16, 2021.
Examples include (but aren’t limited to):
- Conferences, convenings, festivals
- Business trainings or workshops
- Platform memberships
- One-on-one work with consultants, coaches, and mentors including request to bring your practice or programming online

Note: Due to limited resources, requests by Los Angeles County applicants to work one-on-one with a consultant are extremely competitive. Priority will instead go to Los Angeles County applicants who propose group activities such as public workshops, conferences, and trainings.

Ineligible Activities

Activities focused on artistic development, presentation, or art teaching methods/techniques
Requests to support overhead, general operating expenses, or lost income
Activities that have already taken place or that will occur before application notifications are sent
