BCCC Grant Application Form

Grant applications are submitted by invitation only following review of Letters of Intent. Letters of Intent forms are accepted annually from August 1 – September 10th.

BCCC Grant Application

Benton County Cultural Coalition grants are awarded to registered 501(c)(3) art/heritage/cultural organizations located in Benton County, Oregon. If you are not a registered 501(c)(3) you must declare a 501(c)(3) organization as your fiscal non-profit sponsor. Be advised that most organizations charge a small percentage to serve as your fiscal sponsor. This fee should be factored into your project budget and the amount of your grant request. All activities and/or art installations must take place on property that belongs to a Benton County public or 501(c)(3) organization.
GRANT APPLICATION INSTRUCTIONS:

The Benton County Cultural Coalition seeks to identify art, humanities, and heritage projects that support an active, accessible cultural life throughout Benton County. We look for a well formulated plan of action for implementation. We appreciate innovative grants that either reach the greatest number of Benton County residents or those that will engage a smaller segment of the population, providing outreach and engagement in areas where increased access to programming would be especially beneficial.

Complete the on-line Grant Application form found below. Submission deadline is 11:59pm on October 31st. NOTE: Our format requires you to complete the Grant Application form in one sitting: you may want to prepare your answers before you begin. Grant award recipients will be notified by December 5th. Those selected will need to sign a BCCC Grant Agreement by December 15th. Checks will be awarded in early February. If you have any questions, please email us at bentoncoalition@gmail.com
