Funding Opportunity is Aimed at Helping Nonprofit Organizations in Minnesota (USA)
GrantID: 44280
Grant Funding Amount Low: Open
Deadline: Ongoing
Grant Amount High: Open
Summary
This funding opportunity is aimed at helping nonprofit organizations based in a specific region—particularly in and around a historic arts-and-culture venue located in Minnesota. The grant supports programs that take place at or within the footprint of that venue, and it is designed to bolster ideas that engage the public, enrich community culture, support arts and heritage, and strengthen the local institution’s impact.
Eligible applicants are nonprofit 501(c)(3) organizations whose projects will be located in the facility (or affiliated with it) and open to the general public. Small businesses or individual applicants typically are not eligible under this schedule. The funds are intended for project-based support rather than general operating expenses — for example, an exhibition, performance, cultural event, educational initiative, or historical display tied to the venue rather than routine rent or salaries.
The benefits of the grant include access to funding that helps organizations advance creative ventures, expand public programming, enhance visitor engagement, and build momentum in arts & culture offerings in this regional community. The grant encourages proposals that are intentional about community reach, long-term value, and making the venue a vibrant gathering place. Applicants should show how the proposed work contributes to the cultural life of the area and aligns with the mission of place-based heritage & arts spaces.
The cycle opens each year in mid-July and applications close around the end of August. Grants are awarded annually, and recipients are expected to spend awarded funds by the following June 30. Because the program is tied to the local place (in and around Duluth, Minnesota), regional focus is strong—and programs outside that area are unlikely to qualify.
Organizations and individuals based in Minnesota who are engaged in Arts, Culture, History & Humanities may be eligible to apply for this funding opportunity.
