ASC Funding Opportunity Now Available for Cultural Projects and Festivals

Applications for the Arts & Science Council’s (ASC) 2012 Cultural Project and new Cultural Festival grants are now available.

Cultural Project grants increase access to arts, science, history and heritage offerings, and strengthen the quality of cultural programming in neighborhoods and towns throughout Mecklenburg County. They are available to any Mecklenburg County non-profit organization that does not receive an ASC Operating Support grant to use for an arts, science, history or heritage related project. Eligible applicants can receive up to $7,500. Dollar-for-dollar matching funds are required.

The Cultural Festival grant program, new this year, was developed in response to a growing number of requests to support festivals in the Cultural Project grant program. This grant will provide a competitive process specific to festival support while continuing to increase access to arts, science, history and heritage offerings and quality cultural programming in neighborhoods and towns throughout Mecklenburg County.

The program is open to any Mecklenburg County based non-profit seeking funding for an existing festival (festivals in their first year are not eligible) with a programmatic focus on arts, science, history or heritage. Eligible applicants are not asked to submit a requested amount for the grant. Funding will be made based on defined sponsorship levels supplied by the applicant.

Applications for both grants are available at www.ArtsAndScience.org and due March 23, 2012 at noon.
