Special Fund for the Preservation of Cultural Arts

Please Note:  There are no funds available for this program at this time. 

The State of Maryland recognizes that the non-profit arts sector contributes greatly to the economic development, education and overall quality of life for the citizens of our state. Non-profit organizations rely on a mix of both public and private funding.

Due to the economic downturn, private giving (individual, corporate, foundation) to non-profit arts organizations has declined significantly. Due to the impact of the recession on philanthropic support, the stability of the non-profit arts sector has been jeopardized and could lead to closure or termination of a cultural arts organization. In response, the State of Maryland has established the Special Fund for the Preservation of Cultural Arts in Maryland.

ELIGIBILITY IS LIMITED TO FY 2010 GENERAL OPERATING GRANT RECIPIENTS. PLEASE SEE THE LIST OF ELIGIBLE ORGANIZATIONS BELOW.
