What is it?
The Kentucky Arts Partnership grant provides unrestricted operating support to arts and cultural organizations to ensure that year-round participation in the arts is available to the people of Kentucky. The amount funded is derived from a formula based on the organization’s operating revenues, the panelists’ assessment of the application and the funds available for the program.
Who’s eligible?
Kentucky nonprofit organizations that have had IRS tax-exempt status for at least one year prior to the application deadline and whose primary purpose is to provide year-round arts services and programs directly for the benefit of the public. Internal programs of academic institutions and state or other agencies supported primarily with state or federal funds are not eligible.
