The Scottsdale Cultural Council's Community Arts Grants Program provides funding for Scottsdale-based arts and cultural organizations as well as to Valley arts organizations for projects that take place in the Scottsdale community to promote long-term growth in Scottsdale's arts community and to meet short-term funding needs.

Just as implemented last year, there are two grant categories:  projects and general operating support.  General Operating Support grants are designed to support Scottsdale-based organizations whose missions are primarily the arts.   Grant requests should be at least $1,000 but not more than $20,000.
