The main priority in this grant program is core needs of mid-sized arts organizations (with annual budgets of $750,000 or more).
The project must clearly demonstrate potential for broad
and long-term impact on the local community and the art form involved.
This might involve: facility access or use, community-wide program initiatives,
or exceptional artistic projects. Capital and endowment campaigns are not eligible. Grants normally do not exceed
$25,000.
Applicants to the Special Arts Grants
category should submit the application
form and required attachments: project budget, organizational budget,
most recent California Cultural Data Project information (formatted for the Fleishhacker Foundation), board list with affiliations, and brief
supporting materials.
To apply, contact the Foundation’s Executive Director well in
advance of the two annual application deadlines -- January 15 and July
15 – to approve submission of a grant proposal. This contact can
be made by phone or email.
