The purpose of the City Grant Program is to support the capacity of eligible applicants to deliver a range of programs, services and events that enrich the lives and well-being of Richmond residents, in alignment with the City’s strategic priorities.

The Richmond Arts and Culture Grant program has two streams: Operating Assistance and Project Assistance. Both are intended to support Richmond-based non-profit arts organizations to present a range of artistic activities including literary, visual, media, dance, theatre, music, multi‐disciplinary, inter‐disciplinary, and community‐based arts, reflecting different cultural traditions as well as contemporary art forms and practices.

Application intake is now open!
