MicroGrants

ABOUT THE MICROGRANT

If you are an individual artist looking for $500 or less to support your artistic practice, consider applying for a MicroGrant. Through an annual allocation from the City’s General Fund, ACT is able to distribute a limited amount of these grants for individuals to:

  • Attend a conference
  • Purchase supplies
  • Prepare work for a show
  • Supplement marketing materials
  • Small projects that can be completed with $500 or less in total
  • Other related activities

MicroGrants are generally first-come basis and awarded until the funds are spent down each fiscal year (July 1-June 30). Artists may receive one MicroGrant per year and do not need to be fiscally sponsored by a 501c3 to apply.  The applications are received on a rolling basis.

MicroGrants should not be used to supplement a large project budget or to pay an individual outside of a project that is artistic in nature.

We are currently accepting MicroGrant applications on a rolling basis. Fill out the application below and email it back to Special Projects Manager Charlotte Abotsi at cabotsi@providenceri.gov.
