Creative Support for Organizations application deadline

The second and final application deadline in the Minnesota State Arts Board’s Creative Support for Organizations fiscal year 2023 grant cycle is approaching. The program offers flexible support for Minnesota arts organizations, and for non-arts organizations that regularly offer arts programming as an integral part of their missions.

The second application deadline is September 9, 2022. These grants will support activities that take place between May 2023 – April 2024.

Funds from this program can be used to help organizations continue to adapt their arts programming to the changing environment in which they work so that they will be able to continue connecting with and serving Minnesota communities.

Organizations that submitted an application for the first deadline in May 2022 may not submit a second application.

Please visit the Creative Support for Organizations webpage to find the complete Program Overview and Application Instructions; other details about the program; and a free, recorded information webinar.

Open “office” hours with a program officer

If you have questions that you’d like to ask a program officer about any aspect of the Creative Support for Organizations program or the application process plan to join a virtual open office hours online session. Sessions are virtual only, not in person. You can login to join the online meeting, or call via phone, any during the scheduled 90 minutes. Two sessions will be held:
