The Cultural Foundation of Harrison County is now accepting applications for its Community Arts Grants for 2021.

 

The year 2020 has been unprecedented in terms of how it has impacted our local arts and culture organizations. If an organization was

awarded a grant last year and was unable to complete their project, they are encouraged to still apply for a Community Arts Grant for 2021.

 

"Every year, we receive an amazing slate of projects, and I have no doubt that this year will be the same. The pandemic has obviously impacted our local arts and culture organizations, but we encourage those groups to still apply and get creative with their submissions," said Crystal Wimer, grants program chairperson.

 

In 2020, The Cultural Foundation awarded over $29,500 in grants to 22 local arts organizations.

 

Additional information and grant application forms can be found at www.TheCulturalFoundation.org. All organizations wishing to submit a proposal must return your project summary, project narrative, and a detailed project budget to P.O. Box 2252, Clarksburg, WV 26302-2252 by November 30, 2020.

 

The Cultural Foundation of Harrison County will notify the recipients no later than January 8, 2021. Those receiving grant awards will be requested to attend The Cultural Foundation’s annual meeting in late January or February to collect their disbursement. The official date and time of the annual meeting will be announced at a later date.
