Individual artists, municipalities, libraries, 501(c)3 nonprofit organizations can apply directly for grants. Others may be eligible to apply with the help of a sponsoring organization. Grants are project based and support cultural programming in Jefferson, Lewis, and St. Lawrence Counties of New York State.
All applicants are required to attend an info session or meet with the Grant Coordinator, Alicia Murphy, before submitting an application. Alicia can also provide one-on-one support to help you feel comfortable with the application process.
