| Grants |
| 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, the Atlanta Ballet’s education program for the schools and other programs. The remaining 50% is distributed to qualifying organizations within Haywood County that work to enhance the arts. PROJECT GRANTS FOR REGIONAL ARTISTS Both individual artists and small, unincorporated groups of collaborating artists (i.e., guitar duo, jazz quartet, bluegrass band) are eligible. An artist must have resident in the region for at least one year to be eligible. Previous RAPG recipients must wait 2 years before being eligible to reapply. The Haywood County Arts Council and the State of North Carolina are pleased to issue these grants and to support these artistic projects within Haywood County. |
