Community Arts Touring Support for Small-Scale Performances in Minnesota (USA)
GrantID: 75134
Grant Funding Amount Low: $2,000
Deadline: Ongoing
Grant Amount High: $15,000
Summary
The grant program offers nonprofit organizations in a Midwestern U.S. region the chance to receive between $2,000 and $15,000 to support public‑facing arts programming. There are two tracks: one for general arts projects that bring professional artists into communities and another focused on arts and wellness projects, such as creative aging, healing‑through‑art, veteran arts, or arts in health settings.
Eligible entities are nonprofit cultural or arts organizations, or nonprofits that provide arts programming, including social service agencies, tribal organizations, hospitals, or clinics (in the arts and wellness track), located in one of the Midwestern states covered by the program. Applicants must have required federal registration, be in good standing, and for one track have annual budgets at or under a certain threshold.
The funds can be used for things such as artist fees, performance or exhibition costs, workshops or other educational or community activities with artists, accessibility accommodations, marketing, facility rental, equipment, or artist travel. At least one activity must be open to the public, and there must be at least two activities featuring the artist(s). One activity must reach an underserved audience.
Applicants are required to provide matching funding equal to the grant amount in many cases. Projects must be carried out in a specified performance period.
Another opportunity in the same organization awards individual visual artists with disabilities in the region a one‑time check award of about $3,000 each. Those awards are less restrictive in terms of how the money is used and are intended to support individual artists’ development rather than specific public programming.
Geographically, the grants and awards are available in the states of Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Michigan, Minnesota, North Dakota, Ohio, South Dakota, and Wisconsin, including Native Nations sharing that territory.
This grant may be available to individuals and organizations in Minnesota that are actively involved in Health & Medical. To locate more funding opportunities in your field, visit The Grant Portal and search by interest area using the Search Grant tool.
