GFO Track I - Arts Program Grants (PRG)

GFO TRACK I - ARTS PROGRAM GRANTS (PRG) support non-arts organizations that provide ongoing arts programming to the general public. Non-arts organizations are defined as those whose primary purpose is not producing or presenting the arts.

To be eligible for arts program support, an organization must establish that most of the arts activities it produces and/or presents take place in Maryland and that most of the organization’s annual expenditures are devoted to activities that occur within the state. In order to apply for arts program support, organizations other than units of government, colleges, and universities must have been both incorporated in Maryland as not-for-profit and received tax exempt status from the U. S. Internal Revenue Service. All arts programs must have operated for one full fiscal year at the date of application. Registration or qualification to do business in Maryland is not a substitute for Maryland incorporation.

Organizations applying for a GFO Track I - Arts Program Grant must have allowable arts program expenses of more than $20,000. The minimum grant is $1,000.
