We recognize dreams can be big and the budget is too small. Apply for one of our competitive grant programs and let us give you a hand. Bringing cultural enthusiasm and development to Charlotte is a win for everyone.

Technical Assistance Grants support capacity building opportunities that improve an organization’s management, develop audiences, strengthen fundraising and/or achieve operating efficiencies. We wish to encourage staff and board development at all levels of the organization.

We provide funds to Charlotte-Mecklenburg non-profit organizations with a primary mission of arts, science or history to encourage staff and/or board members to attend workshops, conferences, or short-term training programs.

The Cultural Vision Grant program directly responds to the Charlotte-Mecklenburg community’s interest in arts, science, history and heritage programming that builds strong communities and demonstrates innovative, relevant and transformative cultural expression.

This program seeks to support cultural programming close to where residents live by utilizing libraries, parks, recreation centers and other community spaces.
