The Arts Foundation for Tucson and Southern Arizona, with support from the National Endowment for the Arts, the City of Tucson, and Pima County, is offering operating support grants for arts and culture organizations. These grants are part of a 3-year initiative designed to equitably rebuild arts economies in the borderlands and strengthen civic participation. The foundation's mission aligns with this program by stewarding local, regional, and federal funds to achieve these goals, thereby investing in the Southern Arizona arts economy. The target beneficiaries for this program are arts and culture organizations that are tax-exempt 501(c)(3) or charitable arts organizations in good standing with the IRS, or federally recognized Indian tribal governments.

Beneficiaries must reside and provide services in counties and regions south of the Gila River, including Pima, Santa Cruz, Cochise, and southern portions of Pinal, Yuma, Greenlee, Graham, and Maricopa counties, and/or Native Sovereign Nations. The primary mission of these organizations must explicitly be to produce, present, teach, serve, or preserve through arts and culture, with over 51% of their programming and budget dedicated to the arts. The program focuses on two key impact goals: restoring/creating jobs and incentivizing arts & civic engagement. To achieve this, the grants will invest in Southern Arizona’s arts economy. Eligible expenses for Pima County Arts Organizations include operational expenses, while Southern Arizona 501(c)3 Arts Organizations can request funds for artist fees, contracts, or employment. The grant size ranges from $1,000 to $10,000, with specific funding information indicating $5,000 to $10,000 for eligible expenses, and a funding period from July 1, 2024, to June 30, 2025. Expected outcomes and measurable results include the creation and restoration of jobs within the arts sector and an increase in arts and civic engagement across Southern Arizona. Grantees are required to submit a final report 30 days after the end of the funding period, documenting expenses and providing a brief description of programming.

The Jazz & Heritage Presenting Grant, offered by the New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Foundation, is designed to create job opportunities for Louisiana performing artists. This is achieved by providing financial support to local nonprofit organizations. The core purpose of the grant aligns directly with the Foundation's broader mission: to promote, preserve, perpetuate, and encourage the music, culture, and heritage of Louisiana communities. By funding events that employ local musicians, dancers, actors, and other onstage performers, the grant contributes to the Foundation's strategic objective of supporting cultural, educational, civic, and economic activities within the state. The primary beneficiaries of this grant are Louisiana-based arts nonprofit organizations and, by extension, Louisiana-based musicians and performing artists. The impact goal is to facilitate increased employment opportunities for these artists through festivals, concerts, and other public cultural events. The grant specifically focuses on live public performance fees, ensuring that the funds directly support artists' livelihoods. This strategic focus ensures that the grant's resources are channeled into direct artistic engagement and economic support for the performing arts sector. The grant prioritizes activities that occur between September 1, 2024, and August 31, 2025, emphasizing a clear timeline for impact. Eligibility is restricted to 501(c)(3) organizations or registered Louisiana nonprofits, with individuals and commercial organizations explicitly excluded. This ensures that the funding reaches established entities committed to public benefit and cultural development. The expectation is that successful applicants will demonstrate a strong alignment between their proposed activities and the Jazz & Heritage Foundation's mission, thereby contributing to the broader cultural fabric of Louisiana. Expected outcomes include a measurable increase in the number of paid performance opportunities for Louisiana artists and a greater proliferation of cultural events across the state. While specific metrics are not detailed, the emphasis on "job opportunities" and "employment opportunities" suggests a focus on the economic empowerment of artists. The Foundation's theory of change posits that by supporting nonprofit organizations in hiring local talent, it can directly contribute to the sustainability of Louisiana's unique cultural heritage and provide economic stability for its artists. The maximum grant amount of $7,500 ensures that funds can support numerous smaller-scale initiatives, fostering a broad impact across various communities and cultural expressions.
