Bloomberg Philanthropies Global Forum

Arts, Culture and Heritage Program is a grant initiative from Bloomberg Philanthropies that funds efforts to strengthen local arts organizations, connect audiences to culture, and advance the arts around the world. Bloomberg Philanthropies believes in the power of arts and culture to inspire creativity, spark collaboration, and improve quality of life in cities globally. The program supports capacity building for small and mid-sized cultural institutions, facilitates collaborations between artists and local governments to address civic issues, and integrates digital technology to enhance visitor engagement. While Bloomberg Philanthropies typically funds through invitations and strategic partnerships rather than open calls, the program is active in cities across the globe with a focus on sustainable cultural ecosystems.
