Deadline: 20-Nov-20
The Arts Council of Fayetteville is seeking applications for its Mini Grants Program.
Funding Information
- A mini Grant award will not exceed $1,250. Grants may also be submitted for space usage in the Arts Center.
- The Arts Center contains multi-use spaces for meetings, receptions, workshops, rehearsals, exhibitions, and performances.
- As part of your Mini-Grant request, you may ask for the use of these spaces for a limited time for a particular project.
What Projects are eligible?
- Projects funded by a Mini Grant must be open to the general public. Mini Grants fund projects in all cultural art forms that will be completed in a six (6) month period. Projects that the Arts Council’s Project Support Grants Panel has reviewed twice and have not funded are ineligible for Mini Grants.
- Projects with a virtual/online component must directly benefit Cumberland County and/or must use artists whose primary residence is in Cumberland County. Fundraisers for non-arts and cultural nonprofits are not eligible for Mini Grants.
Who May Apply?
- The applicant can be a non-profit organization or municipality operating in Cumberland County presenting a cultural arts activity that is open to the public. Schools are generally not considered for Mini Grant applications and should refer to the Artists in Schools program for consideration.
- An individual or group of artists may apply for a Mini Grant if they are based in Cumberland County and the funded project will occur in Cumberland County.
- Organizations who are ineligible to receive funding in other Arts Council grant categories due to unfulfilled grant requirements may not apply. You may receive only one (1) grant award in a 12-month period.
Evaluation Criteria
Applications are evaluated on:
- Quality of art or cultural arts experience.
- Feasibility of project – including the budget, potential community impact, and the need for support.
- Grants of Arts Center space are dependent on scheduling restrictions.
