The Alaska State Council on the Arts offers grants to assist the development of the arts, distributing state and federal funds through programs to support both individual artists and arts organizations. Grant programs reflect and support the mission and goals set by the Council and guidelines are specific to each program.
All grants are contingent upon availability of funds.
Information about specific grant programs as well as guidelines and applications are available by clicking the buttons to the left or by requesting a hard copy from the ASCA office. The Council awards funds only to Alaskan nonprofit organizations, schools, government agencies, or depending on the category, individuals. If an organization has not attained tax exempt status some grant categories allow sponsorship by a qualified organization if they can demonstrate a close working relationship with the applicant and the sponsoring organization agrees to accept financial responsibility. All grants are approved by the Council. Some are reviewed and rated in advance of Council approval by a panel of discipline representatives.
