Grants
Fuel Your Work with Financial Resources
Get the support you need to make your artistic dream possible. Every year, we distribute $200,000+ directly back into our community’s artists, arts organizations, and creative projects in Santa Cruz County.
“The ripple effect that the ACSCC grant had in my project continues to give until today. We were able to create a crowdfunding campaign that enabled us to raise funds, create a local audience and film the most challenging portion of the project.”
– Brenda Avila-Hanna, Develop Spring 2018
