Summary

Overview

Arts & Culture Grant Program Our Arts & Culture Grant Program will consider proposals that strengthen the arts and culture sector to serve all individuals and communities across the East Metro and Greater Minnesota. The Foundation believes that all peoples, their cultures, and their art contribute to the meaning and understanding of our humanity and should be honored and celebrated. Priority will be given to arts and culture organizations that seek to amplify narratives that address challenges facing communities experiencing marginalization (e.g., BIPOC communities, people with disabilities, low-income communities, LGBTQIA+ communities, formerly incarcerated communities and more) through the arts. Additional focus will be on organizations that play integral roles in the health, wellness and vitality of their communities. Grant Details Grant amounts will be $100,000 per year for a five-year grant period, for total grant amounts of $500,000 per grantee In 2026, up to $1,000,000 is available for this grant program, and we anticipate awarding approximately 10 grants
