The Kent Cultural Alliance (KCA) is a 501c3 nonprofit organization. The Kent Cultural Alliance serves the residents of Kent County supporting and creating equitable access to transformational artistic and cultural experiences to celebrate our shared humanity.

It is the vision of the Kent Cultural Alliance to put the arts to work creating opportunities for engagement, education, and connection across Kent County. 

PROJECT GRANTS are reviewed by a small committee on a rolling basis until funds are depleted. KCA will limit Project Grants to one per organization, per year, as funding allows.

Project Grants are available to community based organizations in Kent County, Maryland that are producing an arts or culture related project.  Project grants will not be awarded to any political or advocacy events/programs, nor expressly religious services. Project Grants will not be awarded to sponsor events where the sole purpose is fundraising. Project Grants can be used to support public community events.

For FY2025, Project Grants will be limited to no more than $1000 per grant, and cannot cover more than 50% of the total budget for the proposed project.  Project Grants are rolling and will be awarded as they come until the budget is used (if you have a spring event that you will be requesting funding for - you do not have to wait until April to request it.)  This will enable KCA to use State and Federal funding to ensure the widest possible access to the arts throughout the county. Community engagement will be a key factor in evaluating all grant applications.

DEADLINE - There is no deadline for project grants. The process is rolling and active until budgeted funding runs out in any given fiscal year.

We're excited to see many different types of proposals and projects.  It is possible that after receiving your request, we may follow up with additional questions.
