From Ivan Schustak, South Arts –

Cross-Sector Impact Grants provide up to $15,000 to support “arts and…” projects developed by partners—one arts organization or artist, and one non-arts organization—harnessing the power of collaboration.

South Arts recognizes that as our communities continue to change, the arts play an incomparable role in addressing many of our communal and individual challenges and strengths. Further, the value of partnership and working together across sectors brings new opportunities, increased effectiveness, and greater depth to our collective work. Through this program, South Arts seeks to provide significant support to projects developed by partners that harness the power of “Arts & …”.

South Arts is committed to diversity, equity, inclusion, and accessibility. We have prioritized this commitment to ensure that Black, Indigenous, and People of Color (BIPOC) led, LGBTQIA+ led organizations, and organizations representing persons with disabilities are represented as both applicants and grantees. We encourage applications for projects that engage a broad spectrum of diversity. Priority will be given to projects taking place in rural, small, or isolated communities.

Join us on March 8, 2021 at 3 p.m. ET for an informational webinar. We will discuss the goals of the program, explore the guidelines and application process, and go over frequently asked questions. Can’t attend the webinar? We will record it and make it live on our site within 48 hours.

The deadline to submit a Letter of Interest is Monday, March 22, 2021 at 6:00 p.m. ET.
