ArtPlace America Offers Community Development Investment in Virginia
ArtPlace America is accepting applications from place-based non-governmental organizations (NGOs) with a primary mission of community planning and development for its Community Development Investments program. ArtPlace will select one NGO with a programmatic focus on a metropolitan community in Virginia that is interested in sustainably incorporating arts and cultural strategies into the organization’s work.
This one-time grant program will provide up to $3 million in funding per organization. The selected organization will also work with national creative placemaking experts, a Financial Capital Consortium, a Federal Grants Advisory Team, and a Community Documentation and Research Team.
The Call for Applications is open to place-based NGOs that:
- have a defined geographical area of focus (neighborhood, town, city, region, etc)
- are working to achieve a variety of social, economic, and physical outcomes in that geographical area
- regularly partner and work across sectors to achieve these community outcomes
- have long-term vision and presence in a community
- do not have a significant history of working with the arts and cultural sector
For more information on the program and how to apply visit www.artplaceamerica.org/CDI. Applications are due by 5pm ET, March 12, 2015.
