The Arts Foundation of Cape Cod's Grants Program provides cash awards to cultural organizations and local artists that are engaged in projects that help create a strong, stable, and diverse arts and culture industry on Cape Cod, and contribute positively to the quality of life and economic vitality of the region.

Preference is given to proposals that enhance the arts education of learners of all ages on Cape Cod, and to collaborative efforts within the arts community. The AFCC does not award grants for general operating expenses. The Board of Directors will consider a limited number of awards up to $5,000, but because the AFCC is interested in supporting as many worthwhile endeavors as possible, grant size is generally limited to within a range of $500 to $2,500.

Arts Foundation of Cape Cod grants are awarded twice a year. The next deadline for applications is October 9 at 5:00 pm. Complete guidelines for grant applications are available atwww.artsfoundation.org/grants-program or by calling the Arts Foundation of Cape Cod at 508-362-0066.
