Organizations Project Grant Program

Purpose:

The funding priority of the quarterly project grants program for organizations is to support community arts outreach activities with an emphasis on pilot projects providing arts programming that develop and/or attract new arts audiences. Management and training needs of arts organizations, as well as projects of community groups that provide accessible resources to the arts, are also considered when funding permits. An Artistic Collaboration grant application is also available. Call MAC for more information.

Eligibility Criteria:

Applicants must satisfy ALL eligibility requirements as follows:

• Be a unit of government or charitable organization with current registration from the Office of the Secretary of State of South Carolina;
• Be located in and serving the residents of Greenville County;
• Show the ability to collect the required matching funds.

Organizations receiving general operating support from MAC may apply for project support within the same fiscal year, but will receive a lower priority for funding than applicants who do not receive MAC operating support.

Funding Range and Match:

Up to $3,000.00 and a 2:1 (Applicant to MAC) match per award. Please note that most awards range between $1,000 and $2,500. Applicants may receive no more than TWO quarterly project grants per fiscal year. Previously awarded grant projects must be completed prior to submitting new applications.

Deadlines:

Applications must be postmarked or delivered to the MAC office by 5 PM of the deadline date. If the deadline occurs on a holiday or weekend, the next business day becomes the default deadline date. No late, faxed or emailed applications may be accepted.
