 Akron, OH, Unknown

GAR Foundation is offering one application period in 2017 for matching fund requests from winners of the Knight Arts Challenge program.  The deadline to apply is February 1, 2017. Please read all of the eligibility requirements carefully before applying:

ELIGIBILITY

  • Applicants must have won a Knight Arts Challenge grant. Requests for future Arts Challenge submissions will not be accepted. Requests from people who applied for a Knight Arts Challenge grant but did not win one will also not be accepted.
  • The project must advance GAR’s strategies in the areas of arts and culture.
  • Applicants must be a 501(c)3 organization or have a written, signed agreement with a 501(c)3 fiscal sponsor. GAR does not make grants to individuals. GAR also does not make grants to for-profit entities.
  • Applicants who applied for, or received GAR match funding for a Knight Arts Challenge project in 2016 may apply.

Please note: funding is very limited and competitive. While we believe that all of the winning projects will add to our community’s vibrancy, we have limited resources to dedicate to match commitments. There is no guarantee that your project will be funded.

DEADLINE
The deadline to apply for a Knight Arts Challenge match is February 1, 2017. This will be the only opportunity to ask GAR Foundation for match funds in 2017. GAR will announce funding in late spring 2017.
