Advancing Arts and Culture through Equity

We thrilled to announce our partnership with Fairfield County's Community Foundation and the Bridgeport Regional Business Council for the launch of the Arts in Service of Equity grant opportunity!

In recognition of the power arts and culture hold to amplify community voice, change narratives, promote inclusivity, and transform our communities for the better, we are excited to announce a 3-year renewable grant opportunity focused on arts innovation for systems change in Greater Bridgeport.

With a total funding pool of $1 million, this initiative will support up to three collaborative projects in Greater Bridgeport. Each project will receive three general operating support grants over three years, with the largest of the three grants coming in year one, and smaller wind-down grants in years two and three. General operating support will allow collaborating organizations flexibility to allocate funding in the ways that they deem best facilitate their projects’ goals and objectives. This funding seeks to leverage the arts to accelerate and catalyze social change in our community.

On May 7th at 11am we will host an info session about the grant; come ready to connect with other organizations to identify collaborators for your RFP proposal!
