Allen Family Philanthropies Community Accelerator Grant

Returning for a fourth year in 2026, the Community Accelerator Grant - a partnership between Allen Family Philanthropies and ArtsFund - distributes $10 million in unrestricted funding to arts and cultural nonprofits across Washington state. New in 2026, eligibility focuses on organizations whose primary mission is to produce or support arts and cultural activities with annual operating budgets of $1 million or less, with priority for communities with less access to mainstream funding. The program is known for a low-barrier application, rapid funding turnaround, and no reporting requirements.
