In today's highly-competitive fundraising market, all nonprofit organizations are looking for additional funding. Here are some alternatives for arts and culture groups.

For Arts Education funding options, see the Funding Alternatives listed on the Education Partner & Resource Links page.

Small arts organizations are at a particular disadvantage in the search for funding opportunities, since they often lack the skills and knowledge necessary to prepare an effective grant proposal and have limited access to available opportunities.

The Utah Arts Council extends professional support to constituents in researching information on granting opportunities, assisting with preparation of submission materials, networking within the community and discovering creative avenues for collaboration.

Community Development staff meet with organizations and individuals throughout the state. They maintain a library of resource materials and a database for customized information access. Research activities are ongoing to identify as many funding sources outside the Utah Arts Council - local, regional, national and international - as possible.

Contact us if you have further questions about alternative funding sources.
