The Cultural Heritage Festivals Program is open to incorporated, tax exempt, 501c nonprofit organizations residing in Austin or its Extra Territorial Jurisdiction. Individual artists and other arts organizations may apply under the umbrella of a 501c organization. Project activities must involve the marketing, production, presentation, and funding of a culturally specific festival open to both residents and tourists.
Funding Cycle
Applications are due each year on May 1 (or next regular business day). Guidelines and application forms for the upcoming funding cycle are available online in the early spring. Funding is available on an annual basis, per fiscal year. Applicants may apply annually, but there is no guarantee of continued funding. Optional application workshops will be held throughout the month of April. A presentation on what will be discussed can be found here.
