AIE – Washington Youth Arts Leadership | FY27

Who can apply

Project Support grants are for activities with specific goals, a clear start date, and an end date within the funding period (July 1, 2026, to June 30, 2027). These grants do not fund ongoing programs. For example, a music-focused organization that offers several programs cannot use project support to fund one of its regular programs. However, if the program is putting on a special one-time event, like a concert at a nursing home, that project may be eligible for support.. Applicant organization must be one of the following:. § 501(c)(3)s must have current state corporate nonprofit status and current federal tax-exempt determination under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code.. Priority Scoring Applications are reviewed for eligibility and scored by staff who make recommendations for funding to ArtsWA’s Board of Commissioners.
