Dear Neighbor, 



CT Humanities (CTH) is once again partnering with the Connecticut Office of the Arts to offer CT Cultural Fund Operating Support Grants. These non-competitive grants provide general operating support to our state's museums, cultural, humanities, and arts organizations - helping them to best serve our communities. 



CT Humanities will distribute $8.5 million in CT Cultural Fund Operating Support Grant awards, ranging in size from $5,000 to $250,000, and the application deadline is rapidly approaching.



Applications must be submitted by November 4, 2022 at 11:59 p.m. 

To be eligible, organizations must meet the following criteria: 

• 501 (c) (3) non-profit organizations incorporated in CT, or municipal, Connecticut state, or Connecticut-based federally or State recognized tribal organizations that provide cultural-, humanities-, and arts-based projects for the public
• Organizations whose core mission, vision, focus, and legal purpose – as stated in their Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws – articulate a commitment to conduct museum, cultural, humanities, and/or arts activities
• Organizations with at least 51 percent of their annual fiscal expenditures allocated specifically to support cultural, humanities, and arts  activities, programming, services, or initiatives

The minimum grant award amount is $5,000 and the maximum award amount is $250,000. All eligible applying organizations will receive funding support.
