Grassroots Grants
Organizations must have been in operation for at least one year. While nonprofit 501(c)(3) status is preferred, organizations that are nonprofit in nature may also receive Grassroots Arts Program subgrants.
Examples of arts programs that are commonly funded with Grassroots funds include:
Performances, festivals, art exhibitions, arts camps and after-school programs, artist residencies for schools, artist fees for classes and workshops, website development, research, marketing expenses for art walks and studio tours, royalties, props, sets, and costumes for theatre performances, and equipment rental.
The Grassroots Arts Program legislation requires that Grassroots Grants must be matched dollar for dollar with cash from local sources during the applicable fiscal year. If you are having difficulty with the cash match, please reach out to us at director at rcarts dot org.

HOW WE SERVE
North Carolina Arts Council's Grassroots Grant program provides high quality art programs to all North Carolina residents, and we are proud to be a designated partner for the program. |
We foster paid and volunteer opportunities for local artists. 100% of the proceeds from the annual art auction goes toward purchasing loaner equipment to enable artists to display their work and to The Art of Us, an annual event features local visual and performance artists and is free and open to the community. |
We are a proud founding member of the RoCo Art Alliance: a five-member coalition of organizations working together to strengthen the arts in Rockingham County |
