Deadline: 1-Apr-22
The Rhode Island State Council on the Arts (RISCA) is seeking applications for 2022 Project Grants in Education for Individuals (PGA) program to provide program support to artists and cultural organizations collaborating with schools and other educational entities, in order to:
- Increase access to high quality curriculum-based arts learning for all RI students;
- foster the professional development of arts educators;
- engage families and community members in arts learning for students;
- help to ensure that all RI students are able to demonstrate proficiency in one or more artistic disciplines upon graduation
Funding Information
- The maximum grant award in this category is $3,000.
Funding Considerations
- Only one application per cycle. Individuals may only submit one Project Grants in Education for Individuals application per grant cycle.
- If you receive a grant, you must credit RISCA on all marketing materials. Grants awarded by the Rhode Island State Council on the Arts are provided by the Rhode Island State General Assembly and the National Endowment for the Arts, a federal agency, on behalf of the citizens of Rhode Island. For that reason, grant recipients must credit the Rhode Island State Council on the Arts on all printed material where funders and supporters are listed and on all printed programs.
- No match requirement. Individuals applying for PGA grants do not need a match, but cash and in-kind contributions are encouraged to demonstrate support for the project.
- All RISCA grant awards are contingent upon the availability of funds from the Rhode Island State General Assembly and the National Endowment for the Arts. For example, any delays in passing the state budget will affect the timing of your grant payments being processed.
- Grant applications are considered on a competitive basis. No applicant is guaranteed funding at any level, even if all basic criteria have been met.
Eligibility Criteria
- You must be a United States citizen or Green Card holder and a current, legal resident of the State of Rhode Island.
- You must have established legal residence in Rhode Island for a minimum of twelve consecutive months prior to the date of application and you must be a current legal resident of the State of Rhode Island at the time that grant funds are disbursed.
- You must be at least eighteen (18) years of age.
- Students attending high school or students pursuing undergraduate or graduate degrees in an arts discipline or an arts-related subject area at the time of application may not apply.
- You may apply for a fellowship and a project grant for individuals at the same deadline.
