What and How Much We Fund We offer two grant tracks: Express Grants and Annual Grants. The maximum Express Grant award is $4,000. The maximum Annual Grant award is $40,000.
Grant funds may be used to pay the presenter(s), to pay for the presenter’s travel expenses, and to purchase project-related materials and supplies as well as marketing materials. Funds cannot pay for equipment, food, beverages, awards, or event tickets. Annual Professional Development Grants must be matched dollar for dollar.
Express Grants do not require matching funds. For FY27, all project funds must be spent between July 1, 2026 and June 30, 2027. How We Make Funding Decisions A panel evaluates and scores each application for artistic quality, arts learning, and management capabilities.
Annual Grant awards reflect the score as a percentage of the request. Express Grant applications that meet panel approval will be fully funded at requested amount. Application Dates: Applications for Annual Professional Development Grants for organizations take place once a year.
The application deadline for FY27 was February 23, 2026. Applications for Express Professional Development Grants for organizations are on rolling deadlines. Apply by the first Monday of each month, two months in advance of the month in which the project incurs expenses.
For example, for a project that incurs expenses in May, the application must be received no later than the first Monday in March. If the first Monday is a holiday, the deadline is on Tuesday. We encourage organizations to submit applications early.
