Community Impact Micro Grant
The Huntington Arts Council is proud to expand funding opportunities through the SCR program. Awarded on a bimonthly basis; Community Impact Micro Grants (Micro Grants) provide funding to non-profit organizations or individual artists for arts & cultural projects and activities that enable Nassau and Suffolk communities to experience and engage with the performing, literary, media, and visual arts.
These Micro Grants provide year-round funding opportunities to arts-centered programs and projects that have a demonstrable impact on their community. The application process has been simplified and streamlined in order to facilitate the bimonthly application and distribution of the grants. Funding priorities include:
- Funding of immediate, stand alone or short term projects
- Funding that supports materials, artist fees, venue rental etc. for ongoing programming
- Supporting programs and projects that include underserved/underrepresented communities
- Partnerships with Community Organizations are not required, but strongly encouraged.
All chosen grants will be funded at $1,000. Community Impact Micro Grants are made possible with funds from the State & Local Partnerships (SLP) program of New York State Council on the Arts and with the support of the Office of the Governor and the NYS Legislature. Allocation of these funds comes from the Upstate and Long Island Recovery Initiative. This support ensures the continued success of extraordinary arts and cultural activities throughout both Nassau and Suffolk counties.
