grants for nonprofit organizations
CULTURAL ARTS AWARDS (CAA)
The Cultural Arts Awards (CAA) program assists Sacramento City and County nonprofit arts and cultural organizations with partial funding in support of general operating expenses.
CAA grants are awarded through a competitive review process, ensuring that grantees meet high standards of artistic impact, community impact, diversity, equity, and inclusion, and sound managerial and fiscal accountability. For 2022 - 2024, we are excited to add that this is largest pool of funds we have had for this program in more than 10 years, almost doubling the amount distributed in our last CAA round. Please be sure to read the guidelines thoroughly before applying. The application deadline closes January 21, 2022.
