Grassroots Grants Funds Available for the Arts - DEADLINE June 4th, 2010

Grassroots Grants funding is available for arts projects taking place in fiscal year 2010-11. Grassroots Grants is a program of the North Carolina Arts Council which is administered locally by the Randolph Arts Guild.  Last year more than $20,000 was distributed to Randolph County non-profit groups for arts projects and events.

Grassroots grants are matching grants that must be matched dollar for dollar by the applicant.  Application is by letter describing the organization and the project, along with a budget for the project, and the signatures of parties responsible for the organization.  The project must be relevant to the arts at the community level.  Credit must be given to the North Carolina Arts Council in any printed information or news releases.  A final report is required at the completion of the project.

The Grassroots Grants has been supporting projects and organizations for more than twenty years.  Schools, music groups, historical groups, drama organizations, and craftspeople have benefited from its help.  Any non-profit group may apply.   

Applications should include a cover letter, project description, and budget.  Applicants are wanted from all areas of Randolph County in all disciplines of the arts.  Applications will be accepted at the Randolph Arts Guild, PO Box 1033, Asheboro, NC 27204 through June 4th, 2010.

When all applications have been gathered the Grassroots Grants Committee of the Randolph Arts Guild meets to allot the available funds.  Funds are disbursed to the Arts Guild in the fall and in late winter.
