The Michigan Council for Arts and Cultural Affairs (MCACA) today announced an increase in funding to $6.1 million for its Fiscal Year 2013 programs.
“We are very excited about the support from Governor Rick Snyder and his administration for this increase in funding,” said MCACA Executive Director John Bracey. “The additional dollars will allow us to add a new Capital Improvement program, intended for the renovation of facilities and equipment. We also have a new logo to celebrate our future.”
MCACA will offer grants through three programs:
Michigan nonprofit organizations, schools and municipalities are eligible to apply for projects that would take place between January 1, 2013 and September 30, 2013. Completed online applications are due on October 1, 2012.
Information about specific grant programs as well as the guidelines is available on the web at www.michiganbusiness.org/arts.
MCACA will be conducting free informational workshops on grant guidelines and the application process for potential applicants throughout the state and online throughout the rest of the summer. Workshop attendance is not required for grant applicants; however, updated guidelines and application process changes will be reviewed at each meeting, so attendance is encouraged. Pre-registration or RSVPs are not required.
