Over 243,000 in Arts & Culture Grants
Helping today grantmaking…Arts & Culture
Your Erie Community Foundation recently recognized 20 local organizations that received over $240,000 in grant money. Like all of our Helping Today grants, our Arts & Culture grants are made from The Foundation’s unrestricted grant making funds. Unrestricted funds become available when a donor establishes an endowment with no restrictions. The Foundation’s board of trustees make informed (and tough) choices when awarding these grants through The Foundation’s competitive grant process. Grants normally range from $15,000 to $30,000, with flexibility to make exceptions for larger projects and community approved capital campaigns
