The City of South Lake Tahoe is launching a pilot program to solicit applications for small grants for projects related to Arts, Culture, and Tourism.
Donor Name: City of South Lake Tahoe
State: California
City: South Lake Tahoe
Type of Grant: Grant
Deadline: 04/17/2023

Details:
The Arts, Culture, and Tourism Microgrants Program may fund publicly accessible artistic projects within the City of South Lake Tahoe, including visual, performing, and literary arts, and cultural events. The microgrant is intended to be used as seed money or combined with a larger grant or other funding; it is not intended to fully fund projects, but rather to act as a catalyst by providing multiple, small grants to the South Lake Tahoe community by investing in local arts, culture, and tourism projects.
Funding Information
Up to $15,000 in grants will be awarded for the 2023 pilot year. Awards will be announced on or by Tuesday, May 9 and funds must be expended within one year from the date of the award. Microgrants will be issued in amounts between $500-$5000. The ACT Commission reserves the right to not issue funding or to partially fund projects.
Grants are intended to provide unique opportunities for arts and culture in their community and should not be a substitute for ongoing activities from individuals or organizations. If the project is an event, it should show either a unique, one-of-a-kind nature or how a repeated event can sustain its own future funding.
