Grants & Funding

Support for Arts Organizations, Artists and Nonprofits

The Arts Partnership provides financial support to the people, institutions, programs and projects that contributes to the health and well-being of our community at large.

Our grant programs aim to make the arts more accessible to all, sustain a vibrant arts sector and recognize excellence in the arts.

Other programs support artists, culture bearers, creative works and arts organizations through stipends. Find more information in our Arts Hub. 

Art For All 2023 Grants - for Health, Human Services and Other Nonprofits

Art for All Grants are available to health, human services and other nonprofit organizations that do not have an arts-related mission but wish to incorporate the arts into their mission-based work.

These grants are meant to invest in organizations and projects that aspire to grow and cultivate community through the arts, primarily to benefit underserved populations. The program is funded by Choice Bank and other corporate funders.

City Arts Partnership Grants
for Nonprofit Arts Organizations

City Arts Partnership Grants, funded by the Tri-Cities, provide foundational support for the Metro’s nonprofit arts-and-culture sector, from its largest and longest-lived arts institutions to small grassroots arts organizations. Together, these arts entities provide arts experiences that annually reach audiences of more than 750,000.

Please note: The CAP 2023 Application form – green button below – does NOT save your work, so work online until you are ready to submit your application.

The video below provides some grant writing tips from Eloise Breikjern, a long-time arts administrator. We hope you find the video and the Scoring Rubric helpful to review prior to writing your grant.

Questions? Need Help?

We try to make applying for grants as easy as possible but potential applicants may still find the process daunting. TAP’s Tania Blanich will answer questions and work one-on-one with applicants throughout the grant-writing process, including reviewing draft applications.
