General Organization Grant Information

Funded by the City of Indianapolis & Capital Improvement Board

Funded by the City of Indianapolis & Capital Improvement Board
Each year, the City of Indianapolis and the Capital Improvement Board, through the City-County Council, allocates funding to the Arts Council of Indianapolis to grant to Marion County arts organizations. The Arts Council of Indianapolis recognizes the importance of public financial support to sustain a wide variety of artistic disciplines and expressions. 

Funding through the 2012 Annual Grant Program and 2012 Project Grant Program enables arts organizations to provide programming and educational opportunities throughout Marion County, to promote Indianapolis as a cultural destination, to build the capacity and stability of Indianapolis' arts and cultural organizations, to enhance the economic development of the city through the arts, and to share arts programs and activities with underserved audiences. 

Grant applications are adjudicated in a public process that is free from conflicts of interest and assures fairness and professionalism. The dates and order of review for the 2012 Annual Grants and 2012 Project Grants public grant panel meetings are:
