The Arts Loan Fund Program

The Arts Loan Fund was established in direct response to the immediate cash flow needs that many of metropolitan Atlanta’s small and mid-sized arts organizations experience on a regular basis. Organizations may apply for loans up to $25,000. The program functions under the Metropolitan Atlanta Arts Fund, an arts funding arm of The Community Foundation. The Arts Loan Fund accepts applications from small to mid-sized arts organizations with annual operating budgets under $1.5 million located in the 23-county area served by The Community Foundation.

Organizations must have had 501(c)(3) status for three years, have at least one full time paid staff person, and pay artists and performers associated with programming.

Loan applications may be submitted at any time. The administrators of the Arts Loan Fund and the advisory committee will make every attempt to make a decision on the loan within two weeks of receipt of a complete loan package. The Arts Loan Fund is governed by an advisory committee.
