There are very few funding sources available to new and emerging arts groups. To fill this gap, GDDF will offer $1,500 gen ops grants to organizations with budgets under $25,000 starting with the April 3, 2015 application deadline.

Eligible groups must have received their 501(c)3 designation within the last five years. If awarded a gen ops grant, groups also must participate in our Technical Assistance Grant Program that helps to develop organizational management skills. Groups may receive up to three gen ops grants at this funding level, after which those whose annual expenses exceed $25,000 may be eligible for continued gen ops support. For more information, please contact Ellen Wadey.
