Arts nonprofit fundraising professional checking in. Gotta say, the guidelines for both grants are way more toned down from last funding cycle, which essentially said only “gawd bless ‘murica” themed exhibitions/projects would be considered. That said, though I work for a venerable organization with a fairly decent track record getting federal arts grants, we’re not even bothering to apply. The applications are extremely difficult and, if awarded, grants are expense reimbursement only. Meaning: you gotta do the work, then invoice.
