Dance Multi-Year Operating | Toronto Arts Council What does this program support? The Dance Program provides Multi-Year Operating support to professional non-profit dance organizations engaged in the creation, production, presentation and preservation of dance, and other activities that contribute to the development of dance, dance artists, and dance audiences in Toronto.
The program aims to encourage long-term vision and planning and to provide stability for dance organizations. Funding through this program supports both operations and programming. The City of Toronto supports this program through a funding allocation approved annually by Toronto City Council.
Grants awarded may be less than the full amount requested. These grants contribute to the artistic and administrative costs associated with an organization’s ongoing Dance activities. TAC does not provide funding for capital projects (e.g. equipment, renovations, purchase of buildings), fundraising events/projects or deficit reduction.
ONLY organizations/collectives that have been already receiving a Multi-Year operating grant and are in the second or third year of their multi-year cycle may apply to this program. The first year of the multi-year cycle for Dance Operating program is 2025. First-time applicants may only apply to the Annual Operating program in the first year of a multi-year cycle.
Application Accessibility Support Applicants who are Deaf or have a disability and need support to complete their grant applications can apply for funds to cover the costs of assistance from Application Support Service Providers. Up to $500 is available per eligible applicant in each calendar year.
Please contact your Grant Program Manager at least six weeks before the grant program deadline to determine eligibility, request application support funding, and to review the process for payment to be made to your Service Provider. Requests for application support require approval from the Grant Program Manager. Additional information here.
Can I apply to other TAC grants? Toronto Arts Council has two Grant Categories: 1. Discipline (e.g.: discipline-specific project grants and operating grants in Theatre, Dance, Music, etc.) 2.
Strategic (e.g.: Animating Toronto Parks, Artists in the Library, Animating Historic Sites, Artreach, Open Door, etc.) Dance Multi-Year Operating is a Discipline program. Applicants may receive a maximum of one Discipline grant per calendar year. Applicants may not apply for more than one Discipline grant at a time.
However, we offer other types of granting opportunities through our Strategic Category, and you may be eligible to apply to one of these programs. Please note: if you apply for a Dance Multi-Year Operating grant you cannot also apply to another TAC program for the same project.

NEA's FY2027 Partnership Agreement Grants (2027NEA04PA) put $59 million into 56 state arts agencies with a September 29, 2026 deadline. No individual arts nonprofit can apply. But this is the channel through which most NEA dollars actually reach small organizations — and the supplanting rule and 1-to-1 state cost share determine how much reaches yours.
Read articleOn August 26, 2026, the NEA, NEH and IMLS jointly rescinded the disparate-impact provisions of 45 CFR Part 1110.

Here is what actually changes for grantees — and what does not.
