Programming Grants | Edmonton Arts Council (EAC)

December 2, 2024

Value

Varies.

Description

Programming grants support specific, relevant activity by non-profit organizations that may not need, want, or qualify for an operating investment relationship with the Edmonton Arts Council. Programming grants are assessed based on the impact of the activity and work on artists, artforms, audiences and communities. The amount of activity and work is a key measurement which influences granting. Programming grants may also seed new connections between an organization and the Edmonton Arts Council.
