WELCOME TO BROOME, CHENANGO & OTSEGO COUNTIES ARTS IN THE COMMUNITY GRANTS PROGRAM
CYCLE 24

SPECIAL ASSISTANCE FUND (SAF) FOR ORGANIZATIONS OR ARTISTS

AMOUNT AVAILABLE: $150 - $500 

This program begins on July 15, 2024 and is available on a first come-first serve basis through the end of 2024 pending availability of funds and approval of request by Earlville Opera House staff. Organization or artist must contact [email protected] directly for pre screening prior to an invitation to apply. Funding is extremely limited. PLEASE NOTE: Due to EOH Holiday hours, all requests for funding MUST be received by 5 p.m., Friday, November 22 so make sure you have reached out to the Grants Coordinator as directed above before that date.

The fund is designed for unexpected expenses or opportunities that may present themselves during calendar year 2024 that may or may not be related to any current funding through the ACG program. Examples might include a sudden opportunity for a guest artist, emergency assistance with a need in production completion, a travel or study option within New York State to enhance one’s career or expertise (CANNOT be combined with the Individual Artist Professional Opportunity), training of staff or board in critical administrative areas including board development, artist supplies, etc. This should not be considered an extension of a previous grant, ongoing expenses, or a currently running program, but a sudden or unexpected event that could not have been planned for.

 Eligible applicants 

Not for profit organizations and artists in Broome, Chenango and Otsego County. Previous grant recipients are eligible to apply.
