Posted Oct 22, 2018 | Posted in: News

From Hal Partlow, Associate Director of Grants –

The FY 2020 annual grants applications are now open. Annual grant applications are due in January 2019. Please note the specific deadlines for each annual grant below.

Before completing an application you are strongly advised to do 3 things: Register, Read and Reach out!

Register in the online grant system. If you have already registered, now is a great time to update your organization information.
Read the grant guidelines to ensure you have the correct documentation and information you will need. You can find the individual guidelines under their grant pages on the Commission website. For example to view the Arts Project Support Grant guidelines, go to the Arts Project Support Grant page. The individual grant pages are easily found on the Grants-At-A-Glance page, which is under the Grants tab on the top navigation of the website.
I encourage you to reach out to your program director or me at 615.741.2093 if you are new to the agency and I will identify your program director. Program directors will discuss your proposed project and are willing to review draft applications in advance of the deadline date. Grant workshops are currently being conducted across the state, please see the schedule and join us at a workshop near you.
