Grant Programs

Our grant programs invest in the overall health and success of the local arts sector, and ultimately that of our community. The aim: make the arts more accessible to all, sustain a vibrant arts sector and recognize excellence in the arts.

In addition to awarding grants to arts nonprofits, over the years we have established grants to artists and health-and-human services organizations wishing to incorporate the arts into their mission-related work.

As the local arts council for Fargo and West Fargo, ND and Moorhead, MN, we award grants to nonprofits and artists based in the tri-cities. Some exceptions are made for artists living in the near region; please read the relevant guidelines carefully to determine eligibility.
