The Grantfinder

The California Arts Council is often notified of other financial opportunities like grants and initiatives from foundations, corporations, and other government entities to pass along to viewers of our website and eNewsletter. The list may be viewed by deadline date or by main category, and may either include a simple heading or full summary. Grant opportunities that do not have set deadlines have been set with a “January 1, 2010” deadline for listing purposes.

To have us include a Grantfinder opportunity in this section, please submit information to the web page editor at editor@caartscouncil.com. All listings must include contact information (email and/or phone) and a website link. No exceptions. Please also note that some opportunities may be more appropriate for our Artist Calls, Competitions or Arts Jobs listings.

The information in this section is provided as a service only, and the California Arts Council does not endorse or support the organizations listed. Questions and/or concerns about listings may be directed to the web editor at editor@caartscouncil.com.
