Grant Description
Grants to Maryland nonprofit organizations, government agencies, academic institutions, and faith-based entities in eligible locations for arts programming and capacity building. Funding is intended to assist arts-focused organizations with general operations and non-arts nonprofits with programming. Eligible applicants are located in Harford County.

Types of Grants:

  • General Operating: Nonprofit arts organizations in Harford County are eligible to receive support of up to one‐third of their total operating budget. Arts organizations are defined as those producing or presenting the arts through public programs or services. This definition is determined as any organization whose mission and financial statements reflect that the majority of resources are dedicated to producing and presenting the arts. Examples of these include galleries, orchestras, theaters, and art museums.

These might include community centers, human service organizations, or non‐art museums in Harford County. Units of government, colleges or universities, and churches are also eligible.

Arts Programming support is also available to Maryland arts organizations located outside of Harford County, who are producing or presenting arts programs within Harford County. Those organizations may receive support for up to one‐half of the direct costs for any Harford County arts programs that are open to the general public.

Supported arts disciplines:

  • Folk & traditional arts
  • Literary arts
