Eligible Projects
A project is defined as a discrete set of connected activities with a distinct beginning and end. Projects can be one-time events such a festival, show, or exhibition, or a series such as a roster of classes, or thematically connected concerts, productions, or arts program. However, the same organization could not apply to support its entire season of programming since that
reflects that totality of the organization’s programming and falls outside RISCA’s definition of a project.
Eligibility Criteria
- 501(c)(3) nonprofit organizations based in Rhode Island.
- Groups fiscally sponsored by a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization based in Rhode Island.
