Non-profit organizations, which meet the Basic Eligibility Requirements, should follow all instructions and complete the grant application form found in the Cultural Support Grant Program Guidelines. Guidelines will be posted on this website approximately eight weeks prior to the deadline date.

Applications must be submitted by the postmark deadline.

How is the grant reviewed?

• All applications are first reviewed by Division staff.
• The Division will then send each member of a peer review panel copies of eligible applications.
• The panel will independently evaluate each application based on the primary review criteria (as stated in the guidelines).
• The panel will then convene in a public meeting to review the applications and make funding recommendations.
• The panel's recommendations are submitted to the Florida Arts Council and Secretary of State for approval.
