Funding Priorities

As part of the efforts to respond to the changing needs of those they serve, Monmouth Arts continues to evolve the programming, operations, and grantmaking. Applicants should show strong initiative in one or more of the following areas:

  • Serving the needs of local artists with exemplary programs, opportunities, services, or presentation of work.
  • Promoting cultural equity, diversity, and inclusion through projects that elevate the voices and experiences of historically marginalized groups, including those that create opportunities for artists and community members who identify as Black, Indigenous, People of Color (BIPOC) or individuals living with a disability.
  • Forging partnerships and collaborations among individuals or organizations, especially those that include different perspectives within the community and connect the arts to other sectors such as economic development, social services, public safety, and health and healing.
  • Broadening public participation by attracting more people to the arts, bringing in audiences different from those the organization is already attracting, or deepening experiences by increasing participants’ levels of involvement.
  • Advancing and advocating for arts education in schools and lifelong learning through the arts.
  • Preserving and conserving art forms and cultural heritage through public presentation.

Grant Period 

  • General Operating Support (GOS) and Special Project Support (SPS): January 1, 2026 to December 31, 2026.
  • Mini Grants: January 1, 2025 to December 31, 2025.

Eligible Costs

  • personnel
  • artistic fees
  • space or other rental costs
  • materials and supplies

  • marketing and promotion
  • consultant fees

Eligibility Criteria 

  • Monmouth County nonprofit arts organizations and community groups that provide quality arts events that are artistically excellent, accessible to a wide range of residents, and beneficial to the public. These grants are not available to individuals or for-profit businesses and organizations that have a history of providing an active program in the arts for at least two years prior to application. Examples of groups that receive funding:
