Professional Organization Operating Grant

The Professional Organization Operating Grant is open to organizations that primarily engage professional artists and pay standard artist fees that have an annual operating budget of less than $999,000 (based on an average of the past 3 years). There are two applications for this stream: one for organizations with annual budgets between $100,000 - $999,000 and one for organizations with annual budgets between $1 - $99,000.

On-Line Granting System: The application will be available at the start of January 2010. If you are a returning operating grant client, you will receive an email with a link to the on-line grant application.

New applicants will be given a log-in after they are approved for eligibility. If for any reason you are unable to complete your application on line, please contact us to make other arrangements.
