About the Program

The Quarterly Assistance Program has four main goals in funding:

• to act as an introductory grant program for new organizations or organizations with no prior Division grant experience;
  
• to capture “sudden opportunities” for projects of arts organizations (that is, opportunities that were not anticipated or known in time for other grant program application deadlines);
  
• to promote professional development for arts organizations within the Consultant, In-Service Training, or Staff Exchange categories;
  
• to provide a place for small Division-initiated projects or to provide organizations with a larger funding request for special projects that are broader in scope than what is offered by the mini-grant.

Arts organizations are eligible for funding in all five grant subcategories; non-arts organizations are eligible for funding in only the Special Project category. Quarterly Assistance funding is not intended to supplement general program support.
