Community Arts Development Grants
Each year, the Arts Council supports nonprofit organizations offering arts programming across Frederick City and County with Community Arts Development Grants. These grants are awarded with funding from both the Maryland State Arts Council and from Frederick County, and are designed to allow high-quality arts programming to be available to as many community members as possible.
The grants are awarded by a committee comprised of both arts professionals and culturally interested community members; in FY2019, the Community Arts Development grant program was able to provide 20 local organizations with a total of $70,000 in awards.
To be eligible to receive a Community Arts Development (CAD) grant, your organization must be either a 501(c)(3) nonprofit arts organization or other nonprofit providing arts programming for the community. Applications for arts and non-arts organizations can be downloaded to the right once available. Application deadlines will be announced in the summer. Check back for more details.
