\nPlease note\, while an organization or unit of government may be eligible for more than one grant program\, the Arts Commission limits the numbe r of applications that may be submitted across programs to one application per entity per funding period.

\nApplicants may request grant award amounts ranging f rom a minimum of $1\,000 to a maximum of $5\,000.
\nThere is no cash match required for this grant opportunity.
\nIn 2012\, the Arizona Commission on the Arts was removed from the State’s General Fund as an ong oing budget line-item. Since that time\, the agency’s annual grantmaking b udget has been especially volatile\, dependent on one-time legislative app ropriations\, which have ranged from $0 – $5 million. The agency’s grantma king capacity for Fiscal Year 2025 will not be known until the State’s bud get is passed by the Legislature and signed into law by the Governor. This typically happens in late spring.
\nThe number and size of grants the agency will award in Fiscal Year 2025 will depend on the outcom e of this legislative budget session.
