Community Arts Support

CMAB Fiscal Year starts July 1, 2011 and ends June 30, 2012

The CMAB Community Arts Support Grant program provides funds of up to $8,000 or 15% of the last completed fiscal year’s annual operating expenses, whichever is less, for nonprofit arts organizations located in Benton, Sherburne, Stearns or Wright County.

These are unrestricted grants made to arts organizations that do not receive general operating support from the Minnesota State Arts Board and that demonstrate programming of high artistic quality and efficient management. These funds may be used for administrative, operating and capital expenditures.

Who can apply:

  • Established nonprofit arts organizations located within CMAB’s four county region, which have received the 501(c)(3) tax-exempt status from the IRS
