As part of our mission to promote, encourage, and foster the arts and cultural institutions in St. Louis City and County, the Regional Arts Commission provides grants to non-profit organizations doing arts programming in St. Louis City and County.
In 2013, RAC awarded more than $3.3 million to support nonprofit arts and cultural organizations, consortiums, and programs in the St. Louis area in the 2013 annual grants round. The Commission awarded 44 Program Support III grants, 11 Operating Support I grants, and 15 Operating Support II grants, which combined with 113 Program Support I and Program Support II grants (on a two-year cycle beginning in 2012), total more than $3.3 million in 183 grant awards. Since it was created in 1985, RAC has awarded more than 5,800 grants totaling more than $76 million. (more info).
One of the first arts agencies in the nation to develop and implement an online grants system (the eGRANT), RAC's call for applications for the Annual Grants Round begins in early December.
Each grant request is carefully reviewed and discussed in an open, public forum by citizen panels, staff members and the Commissioners. Grant applications are evaluated on the basis of several criteria including: quality of programs, innovative ideas, fiscal health, cultural diversity, community/national impact, community outreach, management capability, and need in the community.
