The Fulton County Department of Arts & Culture is pleased to announce funding opportunities for the 2023 Contracts for Services (CFS) funding cycle. Funding awards ranging from $1,000 to $50,000 are available for Fulton County based artists, non-profit arts, organizations, non-profit cultural institutions, colleges and universities, schools, municipalities, and community based non-profit organizations in the form of essential project support.
Each year, Fulton County invests in the arts community to ensure that Fulton County residents enjoy a wide array of art experiences.
“The goal is to increase access to cultural enrichment for our residents and provide resources for artists to thrive in a challenging economy,” said Arts & Culture Director David Manuel. “Our program mission is to not only provide accessibility for all County residents, but to also search for opportunities to expand cultural opportunities throughout Fulton County.”
The Contracts for Services (CFS) Program provides unrestricted general operating and project support to nonprofit and tax-exempt organizations, arts & culture organizations, cultural institutions, colleges, and universities, as well as units of government that produce or present ongoing arts programming for the general public. Award recipients present programs that reflect the cultural diversity of the County, captures the imagination of adults, families, and youth, invigorates neighborhood growth, and supports economic development.
