Black Belt Community Foundation announces 2017 Arts Grant Cycle

The BBCF seeks to support organizations like yours who engage citizens in the Black Belt region in the arts.  The 2017 Arts Grant Cycle will support projects addressing the arts in these categories: arts education programming, arts exposure programming and arts professional development.

The BBCF will offer funding in two ways:

  • Small grants pool with funding up to $3,000 will cover arts education programming, arts exposure programming and arts professional development.
  • Larger grants with funding up to $10,000 will cover arts education programming only. This grant category is for organizations who have received funding from BBCF and that have a proven track record of quality arts education programming.

The BBCF will be hosting six grant seeking workshops for the organizations who are interested in applying for a 2017 Arts Grant. Attendance at one of the workshops is mandatory in order to be considered for a 2017 Arts Grant. The Grant seeking workshops will be held at the following locations:
