Grants Guidelines › Eligibility

To be eligible, an organization must do the following:

• Certify tax-exempt status under section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code
• Produce programming of high artistic merit
• Provide appropriate matching funds
• Demonstrate financial responsibility

Individual artists who seek funding for specific projects may apply for Project Support. Applications can only be accepted from tax-exempt organizations, or fiscal agents, acting on behalf of the artist. Artists may also apply for merit-based awards from the GCAC Individual Artists Fellowship Program, for which separate guidelines are available.
