Grants: California-based artists can now apply for a professional development with NO MATCHING REQUIRED (CA-Based)
PROGRAM DESCRIPTION
The Professional Development (PD) program (formerly the Professional Development category of the Professional Development and Consulting program) builds arts organizations’ capacity for success through small grants to support professional development activities. Refer to the new Organizational Development program for consulting activities.
ELIGIBILITY CRITERIA
- The applicant must be a California-based nonprofit arts organization, local arts agency, or arts-based unit of government with a history of arts programming for a minimum of two years prior to the time of application.
- An applicant without nonprofit status may use a California-based fiscal sponsor that has nonprofit status, federal 501(c)(3) designation, and which will provide the fiscal and administrative services needed to complete the grant.
- See guidelines for complete requirements.
Applicants to this program are not restricted from applying to and receiving funding from other competitive CAC grant programs as long as those funds support distinctly different projects or activities. However, an organization can only receive one grant per year to the Professional Development program.
