Community Arts Fund

Community Arts Fund provides project support for arts activities reflective of our multicultural region, with an emphasis on encouraging small, community-based, volunteer-driven organizations.

Through the Community Arts Fund, we seek to:

• Recognize and encourage non-professional, volunteer activities as an essential part of the county’s cultural environment
• Support cultural activities which reflect the dynamic, diverse, and innovative character of Santa Clara County
• Stimulate local support particularly at the grassroots level.

Community Arts Fund provides grants to a maximum of $4,000 to organizations with total expenses of $8,000 to $100,000 in the last completed fiscal year.
