The Cultural Foundation Grant Program
Each year, the Cultural Foundation awards grant funding up to a total of $5,000 to support performing, visual, or culinary arts efforts, as well as workforce development initiatives aligning with the hospitality industry, in Athens-Clarke County.
The Classic Center Cultural Foundation’s grant funding will require a completed application, proposal of the project, event, or performance that your company/organization is looking to achieve, and a timeline for one calendar year for completion of project.
Last year, the grant was awarded to four programs or projects that support performing, visual, or culinary arts efforts, as well as workforce development initiatives aligning with the hospitality industry in Athens-Clarke County.
