Amplify Art is a competitive grant program. Due to available grant funding, a maximum of five projects will be selected per cycle. Priority will be given to artistic projects meeting at least one (1) of the following criteria:
Project led by or involving BIPOC (Black, Indigenous, and People of Color) artists.
Project designed to reach underserved communities within Northeast Indiana.
Project supporting early childhood education (ages 0-5).
How does it work?
Similar to Kickstarter, Amplify Art uses a fundraising platform designed to gain community support for selected artistic projects. Donors give online to support selected projects during a two-week campaign. All donations collected filter through Arts United, a 501(c)(3) non-profit, making them tax-deductible to the extent provided by law.
Here’s the breakdown:
Five (5) Amplify Art participants will be selected from eligible applications.
Arts United will set up and manage the online giving platform for your project – participants get every donation made to their campaign.
All donations will be matched 1:1 (up to $2,000) – thanks to PNC Bank.
Funding Information
Participants selected for Amplify Art will have a fundraising amount of $4,000 posted publicly. Since PNC Bank is matching all donations 1:1 (up to $2,000) – this means you will need to crowdfund $2,000 to reach your total goal.
Any donations received above and beyond $4,000 will not be matched, but still given to the Amplify Art participant.
Grant Period
Proposed projects must take place between December 1, 2024 – November 30, 2025.
