Funding for Programs Highlighting Individual Artists’ Work in Texas (USA)
GrantID: 75178
Grant Funding Amount Low: $250
Deadline: Ongoing
Grant Amount High: $5,000
Summary
Funds can be used for expenses tied directly to the project’s execution: materials, program costs, and other resources needed to bring the creative idea to life. The program includes special funding streams for performing arts projects, partnering with a local performing arts venue to augment support in that discipline.
Eligible applicants typically include educators (public or private), staff or representatives of nonprofit organizations, and individual artists. For the education-focused track, applicants must have a direct teaching or program role (rather than an assisting role). All applicants are expected to reside in or serve the targeted county region.
Grant awards generally fall in a modest but meaningful range—enough to move a project forward without requiring large institutional backing. In past cycles, awards have ranged from in the low hundreds to several thousand dollars. Proposals are judged on criteria like clarity of goals, innovation, community impact, and feasibility. Partial funding may be offered depending on resource availability.
Each year there is a single application window: proposals open in early fall and close about a month later. Applicants are notified later in the year, and awarded funds are distributed the following calendar year. Projects must be completed within that award year, and grantees are required to submit a final report.
This microgrant is offered annually, aligning with the organization’s mission to expand access to the arts at the local level. It’s intended to help bridge funding gaps and encourage creative experimentation in visual, performing, and literary arts across the county.
This grant may be available to individuals and organizations in Texas that are actively involved in Non-Profit Support Services. To locate more funding opportunities in your field, visit The Grant Portal and search by interest area using the Search Grant tool.
