queens community arts grant guidelines

The Queens Community Arts Grant provides support to community-based organizations, groups and collectives to hold arts and cultural projects or activities for the public in Queens to enhance the cultural climate in communities and neighborhoods where they live and work - to make the arts accessible to all.

Applicants may make only one project request that is at least $1,000 and does not exceed $5,000. This one request limit does not apply to applicants acting as fiscal sponsors or community partners for the Queens Community Arts Grant.

Successful applications will show how the requested funds will:

• Strengthen community bonds
• Increase overall awareness and greater access to cultural activities in Queens
• Advance the applicant organization’s mission
