Grant opportunities for FY15 begin Jan. 3 for Nevada arts applicants

CARSON CITY - Grant opportunities for fiscal year 2015 through three Nevada Arts Council grant programs for nonprofit arts and non-arts organizations, public institutions and government entities will be available online at nac.culturegrants.org  beginning Jan. 3.

The Arts Council 's annual Partners in Excellence, Project, and Arts Learning Project grant categories support a breadth of programs and activities that expand public access to and participation in the arts and arts education. Information and grant guidelines will also be posted online. All applications must be submitted through the Grants Online system.  Applications for all three grant categories are due by 5 p.m. on March 12, 2014.

Those who did not receive Nevada Arts Council grants in FY2014 because of eligibility or scoring issues, must complete an advance review, due 5 p.m. Feb. 6.

The advance review allows applicants to have their proposals checked for eligibility and completeness before the final deadline to help them make adjustments or corrections before submitting the final application.

For more information or assistance with beginning the grant application process, contact the Nevada Arts Council's grants management team at (775) 687-6680 or infonvartscouncil@nevadaculture.org.
