Strengthening Arts Nonprofits and Arts Programs
Arts4MC is proud to offer Community Arts Grants of up to $7,500 annually to nonprofit organizations with a total revenue up to $3 million, bringing public arts and culture programs to life. Whether you’re launching a new initiative or sustaining a beloved program, we’re here to support your vision.
Each organization can receive one grant per year and must complete the final report for any previous grant before applying again.
These grants are made possible through the generous support of our funders: The County of Monterey, the David & Lucile Packard Foundation, and the Todd Lueders Fund of the Community Foundation of Monterey County. Arts4MC also extends its deepest gratitude to the Monterey County Board of Supervisors for their unwavering dedication to advancing arts and culture in our region.
Zoom office hours are available during the duration of the application period. For those located in South County, you can also schedule an appointment at our King City office. Simply email Klara Hickmanova at klara(at)arts4mc.org.
