Metropolitan Atlanta Arts Fund

The Arts Fund was created to assist small and medium-sized arts organizations operating in the 23-county Atlanta region with annual operating budgets below $1.5 million, by providing grants devoted to fund stabilization programs and projects.

Through its annual grant-making, the Arts Fund pursues a "balance sheet" strategy responding to proposals which are based on a serious self-assessment, requests which recognize the importance of institutional planning and financial management for artistic and operational objectives, and proposals which illustrate a commitment to the long haul.

Successful applications to the Arts Fund will be reflective of active and committed policy-making board members, administrators, artists and volunteers: in short, arts organizations self-confident about who they are, what they do, and that have a clear vision of where they need to go.

The Arts Fund has one grant cycle per year. The next application deadline is 5:00 pm on January 11, 2008. Grantees will be announced on May 21, 2008.
