About this opportunity
This is a small community grant from the East Hartford Commission on Culture and Fine Arts for fine-arts and culture activity connected to the town — concerts, performances, festivals, workshops, after-school programmes and public art all qualify, research doesn't. Grants typically run $50 to $1,500 and can cover wages tied to the project, fees for contracted artistic or technical professionals, space rental, printing and marketing, production costs and materials — not capital work, existing debt, scholarships, food at events, or anything with no connection to East Hartford. Applications go in through a Microsoft Forms link, where you'll describe the programme and its location, dates and partners, note whether you've run something similar before with attendance figures, state the amount requested and who it serves, and attach one to three work samples such as recordings, flyers or press materials. The Commission reviews applications quarterly, at public meetings in September, October, December, March and June, and asks that applications land by the 15th of the month before the meeting you're aiming at — so 15 November 2026 for the December round. First-time applicants are especially encouraged, and anyone who's received a grant before needs to be in good standing and have filed their final report. A narrative and financial report are required once the project wraps.
