Grant for Arts Organizations Advancing Community Culture in Pennsylvania (USA)
GrantID: 75427
Grant Funding Amount Low: $5,000
Deadline: Ongoing
Grant Amount High: $5,000
Summary
This grant program supports small to mid‑size arts organizations and arts programs across counties in southwestern Pennsylvania. The opportunity is meant for mission-driven groups that maintain consistent arts programming and seek flexible support to adapt, stabilize, or grow.
Eligible applicants are nonprofit arts organizations or arts programs within nonprofits or governmental entities. Applicants must demonstrate a track record—typically two or more years—of delivering arts or culture services. The organizations should have an average annual arts-related revenue in a defined middle range (neither micro nor very large). In eligible counties, only one application per organization is permitted per cycle.
The funding is intentionally flexible: awardees may use the grant for administrative needs, program costs, project expenses, or organizational improvements. The goal is to let grantees allocate resources where they can make the greatest difference. Because it’s not strictly a project grant, recipients can address internal capacity, staffing, marketing, or programming according to their priorities.
The grant amount is a flat sum (e.g. five thousand dollars) per eligible applicant. The number of awards depends on available program funding and regional allocations; past cycles have supported dozens of organizations in the region.
Application windows open in early fall (September) and close around the end of October of the same year. The funded period typically spans the following calendar year (January through December), and recipients must complete a final report shortly after the period ends. The program is intended as an annual regranting cycle, though funding from the state may vary each year, making awards contingent on budget.
In summary, this opportunity is ideal for arts groups in the designated counties seeking unrestricted or semi‑restricted support to strengthen their programs, meet operational needs, and deepen community impact.
If you are located in Pennsylvania and working in the area of Non-Profit Support Services, this funding opportunity may be a good fit. For more relevant grant options that support your work and priorities, visit The Grant Portal and use the Search Grant tool to find opportunities.
