About BCAC Grants

The Howard County Arts Council developed this program to award funds to Baltimore City organizations that provide significant services to Howard County citizens. While several of the organizations that are eligible for grants in this category are not arts organizations, the same criteria are used to judge their programs and services by substituting cultural or educational merit for artistic merit. At this time, only previous recipients of the Baltimore City Arts & Cultural Grant Program are eligible to apply to this program.

About CAD Operating Grants

The purpose of the Community Arts Development (CAD) Operating Grants is to sustain and help grow Howard County-based non-profit arts or cultural organizations with exhibition, presentation, or production in the arts as their primary function. These grants are larger and can cover the cost of a variety of day-to-day expenses like salaries, office equipment, utilities, and more. Organizations are only eligible for an operating grant after they have completed two (2) project grants over the past two consecutive years. This includes completing the project and submitting interim and final reports on time.
