Project Grants
Project grants of up to $3,000 can be used to support other performances and concerts happening in Hillsboro, along with exhibitions, screenings, readings, workshops, classes, festivals, or cultural celebrations. Individuals or groups without 501(c)3 or 501(c)4 status can apply for up to $1,500.
Some recent project grants were awarded to fund the creation of jazz music inspired by public artwork around Hillsboro, a free afterschool art literacy and enrichment program, and master classes in classical Indian dance.
Project grants aim to help foster a diverse, inclusive, and equitable community while providing access to arts and cultural experiences for the underserved.
Core Support Grants
Core Support grants of up to $10,000 help fund essential operations at small and mid-sized arts and culture 501(c)3 nonprofits based in Hillsboro.
