Grantmaking is a critical component of our mission to support artistic excellence and impact in the arts. Since our establishment in 1967, we have awarded more than $30 million in grants to more than 150 emerging and established nonprofit arts organizations, large and small, throughout Dallas County. Through our grant programs we hope to not only strengthen the effectiveness and impact of arts organizations, but to also encourage innovation and risk-taking.   Click HERE to learn more about our grant programs.
