Intent to Apply - Grants for Organizations

Grants for Organizations (GFO) provide operating support that strengthen and sustain Maryland’s arts infrastructure.

The GFO granting program provides general operating support to nonprofit and tax-exempt organizations, as well as units of government, that produce or present ongoing arts programming that is open to the public. GFO grantees not only provide access to the arts in their communities, but they create audiences for the future, uplift communities, and stimulate the economic impact throughout the state.

Visit https://msac.org/programs/grants-organizations for more information on the program.

Applicants new to the Grants for Organizations (GFO) program must complete an Intent to Apply application to determine eligibility.

Intent to Apply applications are due September 15th annually. Eligible organizations complete a Full GFO Application.
