Iredell Arts Council Accepting Grassroots Subgrant Applications

Are you part of a non-profit organization in Iredell County with a passion for the arts? Here’s some exciting news: The Iredell Arts Council is now accepting applications for the North Carolina Arts Council Grassroots Arts Program subgrants! But don’t wait too long—the deadline to apply is September 30, 2024.

​

What’s the Grassroots Arts Program All About?

Since 1977, the Grassroots Arts Program has been all about bringing quality arts experiences to people all across North Carolina. Through a clever per capita formula, the program ensures that funding reaches all 100 counties in the state, thanks to partnerships with local arts councils like ours.

​

Why You Should Apply

If your non-profit is dedicated to promoting and developing diverse cultural arts programming in Iredell County, this could be a great opportunity. We’re especially interested in supporting:

  • Qualified arts organizations like theaters, galleries, choral societies, and festivals.

  • Arts in education programs led by talented, qualified artists.

  • Community organizations that are bringing arts programs to the area.

One thing to note: If your organization already receives operating support directly from the N.C. Arts Council, you won’t be eligible for a subgrant. And keep in mind that your project needs to take place between July 1, 2024, and June 30, 2025.

​

How to Apply

Ready to get started? Application forms and detailed grant guidelines are available on the Iredell Arts Council website at www.iredellartscouncil.org. If you’d prefer a hard copy, we’re happy to mail it to you—just ask!

​

What Happens Next?

Once you submit your application by September 30, 2024, a diverse panel of community members will carefully evaluate each one. You won’t have to wait too long to find out if you’ve been awarded a subgrant—expect an announcement within 30 days of the deadline.
