Community Partners Grant Applications Open, Due 3/1/2023Michigan Arts and Culture Council (MACC) just began accepting applications for its new Community Partners Grant program. Deadline is 3/1 at 5pm. Community Partners is a competitive grant program that exists to strengthen communities by encouraging them to work collaboratively with artists and culture bearers to explore cultural traditions/heritage and share in the creative process of arts and culture where the collaboration is integral to daily lives and is valued as a tool for community development. Grants from $10,000 to $20,000 with a cash or in-kind match are available. Funded projects must take place and be completed between 5/1 – 9/30/23. Guidelines available here. MACC Program Manager Jackie Lillis-Warwick will be featured at the Network’s February Zoom Roundtable on Thursday, 2/2 at 10am to discuss the new Community Partner Grants and answer questions. The monthly roundtables are open to all – join in the discussion, share your ideas, questions and updates. Link here to join. In addition to the MACC Q&A, interested participants will have opportunities to share ideas for prospective projects, collaborations and note resources needed to shape a project proposal.
