The DCA Regrant Program is funded by the Greater New York Arts Development Fund, a program of the NYC Department of Cultural Affairs (DCA). Brooklyn-based professional artists and arts organizations are invited to apply for a DCA Regrant for cultural projects that benefit the community and contribute to the overall quality of life in Brooklyn. DCA Regrant awards range from $750 to $4,000.
WHO CAN APPLY?
Individuals and nonprofit organizations may apply directly to this program, or may use a New York City-based fiscal sponsor if they prefer. Organizations, groups, and artist collectives without nonprofit status may apply as an organization through an NYC-based fiscal sponsor, or a lead person from the group may apply as an individual.
