This funding opportunity is a competitive grant category intended for small and midsized cultural organizations; organizations whose public programming is developed and funded by friends groups; and organizations that offer a season of arts programs/activities and/or education-based programs.
ArtsWestchester defines “project” broadly. Organizations may apply for support for a season of related events over a scheduled period of time – such as a film series, concert series, workshop series, or education series, or an individual program or event – such as an exhibition or performance; a special program – such as a festival; or a pilot project. A season may be defined broadly, including producing at least one production running a minimum of three (3) performances over the course of a year or a series of readings, workshops, or development activities open to the public.
Eligibilty:
• Demonstrate 501(c)(3) federal tax exempt status as a private, not-for-profit organization incorporated in New York State.
• Have a mission statement that clearly delineates the arts or local history as the primary objective of the organization both programmatically and operationally.
• Have a governing board that meets regularly, operates under a set of bylaws, has at least one-third of its members residing in Westchester County, and is representative of the community you serve.
• Have presented at least three full seasons in Westchester County prior to submitting this application.
• Have an annual revenue of at least $25,000 in your most recently completed fiscal year.
• Provide services between July 1, 2024 and June 30, 2025, the period covered by this grant.
