Deadline: 8-Oct-21
The ArtsWave is pleased to announce the 2022 Young Professionals Grant to support programming that engages young professionals.
ArtsWave recognizes there is a lack of resources dedicated to programming specifically for young professionals. This grant program is designed to provide both seed funding to support the development of new programming, as well as short-term operating support for existing programming with a demonstrated impact.
To be eligible for the FY2022 YP Grant Program, the proposed programming should:
- Be participatory, social, and recurring
- Encourage personal investment in the organization and/or community
- Seek to increase engagement among young professionals who are already engaged
- Strive to reach young professionals that are not already engaged
- Have a plan for long-term sustainability
Funding Information
- Grant awards will be given up to $15,000.
- Proposed programming must take place between September 1, 2021-July 15, 2022 and not be completed by grant award notification. Interim Report presentations will take place on March 10, 2022 at 12:00 pm. Final reports will be due July 29, 2022.
