In response to the ongoing impact and uncertainties of the COVID-19 pandemic, the Small Arts Grants program is continuing to accept applications for general support from 501(c)(3) nonprofit and fiscally sponsored organizations. General support grants are flexible and may be used for operations, staffing, facilities, reopening costs after COVID closures, health and safety compliance, artists’ compensation, rehearsals, performances, presentations, exhibitions, and other administrative, program, or production costs at the grantee’s discretion.
Post-production support for film projects directed by Bay Area filmmakers with budgets under $750,000 will also be considered in this program, if applying with an eligible fiscal sponsor or nonprofit production company.
All other project-specific support, however, remains suspended for this grant program.
