GRASSROOTS GRANTS
The Grassroots Grant Program provides financial support for Haywood County-based
community and nonprofit organizations that produce programs and projects that enhance
the arts for county residents.
Applications will be evaluated based on artistic merit, benefit to audience or participants,
involvement of racially and culturally diverse participants as appropriate to the project, and
organizational strengths.
The Grassroots Grants program, administered by the state of North Carolina, provides
the Haywood County Arts Council, a Designated County Partner (DCP), a grant to be used
for artistic programming. The Arts Council retains 50% of this money for internal programs
such as the Sunday Series, Swannanoa Chamber Music Festival, Arts in the Schools, and
other programs. The remaining 50% is distributed to qualifying organizations within
Haywood County that work to promote the arts.
Subgrantee organizations must be a 501(c)(3) with two years of operation to qualify.

duo,jazz quartet, bluegrass band) are eligible. An artist must have residence in the region

The Haywood County Arts Council and the State of North Carolina are pleased to issue
