Please read the following guidelines carefully to determine if you should apply for Tier 1 or Tier 2.
The following guidelines apply in addition to the Council on the Arts' general guidelines, rules, and regulations.
Community Arts Access Tier 1 is a community-based grant program designed to benefit nonprofit organizations that present arts programming in small and rural North Dakota communities (with a population under 6,000). It also supports nonprofit organizations in communities of all sizes whose arts programming makes a deliberate and focused effort to serve a special constituency or an underserved audience in that community. Applicant must be registered as a non-profit organization with the state of North Dakota or be a community or county government entity. Organizations may form partnerships with state agencies, for-profit businesses, and other entities, but the non-profit organization must be the applicant.
Community Arts Access Tier 2 is a community-based grant program that offers financial support for arts events and programming and supports organizations in communities with a population of 6,000 or more. Applicant must be registered as a 501(c)3 non-profit organization with the state of North Dakota or be a community or county government entity. Organizations may form partnerships with state agencies, for-profit businesses, and other entities, but the non-profit organization must be the applicant.
