QUICK FACTS
Why a funding program from the City of Boise?
The City of Boise is committed to supporting local cultural
organizations, as illustrated in one of the City's key strategic
goals: To foster an environment where learning, the arts, culture,
and recreation thrive. The grant program of the Department of Arts
and History supports this goal by:
- Promoting the growth and development of the city's artists and
historians, and artistic, cultural, and historical organizations;
and,
- Fostering the preservation and growth of the financial
resources that support artistic, cultural, and historic
activities.
Ideally, the funds awarded will expand cultural opportunities
for individuals and organizations, developing audiences, and
increasing awareness of art and history in every day life.
How are grants awarded?
Grants are awarded based on creative quality, management, and
community involvement (excellence, proven service to the community,
administrative competence, and fiscal responsibility). These grants
support a variety of activities and disciplines, and are available
to artists and non-profit organizations in Boise. Grant allocations
are based on available funding and a review panel's evaluation
score of the application. This year the funding totaled $45,000.
