Art$WChallenge Grant 2020
“We are delighted and thankful to be of service and to bring our love of music to the Westchester community and for all who have given us the financial and moral support necessary to continue our mission.” ~ Westchester Symphony Orchestra
The 2020 Art$WChallenge broke several records, with the greatest number of groups participating, with 126 eligible, and the most private funding ever raised in a single year at $757,993. This will be matched with $353,573 in County funding, totaling just over $1 million dollars in combined support for the arts and culture community.
The number of new gifts outpaced the number of increased gifts by two-to-one, which means that the participating groups were most successful in cultivating new donors for the 2020 Challenge.

About ArtsWestchester Grants
ArtsWestchester grants reach every part of the County and make possible an extraordinary array of cultural activities. Our grants help Westchester’s cultural organizations grow and support individual artists in the creation of new work. The 2020 Challenge Grant Program is a funding opportunity open to cultural organizations that received a Basic Program Support, Project Support, Yonkers Arts Initiative or Mount Vernon Arts Initiative grant in the past three years OR an Arts Alive (Westchester County only) grant in the past five years to help boost their operating income by attracting new contributions. This grant is made possible with support from Westchester County government.
