Common questions
How many grants for arts organizations are open right now?
As of Oct 28, 2026, we list 14 open grants for arts organizations. We refresh this list from Grants.gov and other sources every 10 minutes.
What does the first-time % column mean?
For federal grants we look up the program behind the announcement on USAspending and compute the share of recent awards that went to organizations that had not won under that program before. A high number means newcomers win regularly; a low number means it mostly re-funds past grantees.
What is the largest arts grant available?
The largest award ceiling among the open opportunities listed here is $25K. Most grants make several awards, so typical award sizes are usually lower. Check each listing's award range and the program page's median.
Can you help us apply?
Yes. Our grant writers can check your eligibility for free, then write and submit the application for a fixed price.
