LAFAYETTE, LA – Arts and culture organizations are encouraged to start
submitting applications for Acadiana Center for the Arts (AcA) administered and Lafayette
Consolidated Government (LCG) funded Arts & Culture Grant.
Every year since 1988, AcA has administered this program, soliciting proposals from local nonprofit
organizations and recommending available funding for projects and organizations through an
independent panel of local experts. LCG sets the amount of funding available during its annual
budgeting process.
This year AcA and LCG will only offer grants for the year-round operations of nonprofit arts and
cultural organizations. Funds can be used towards regular operations costs such as salaries, utilities,
employee benefits, rent, insurance, etc. A full list of eligible expenses can be found on AcA’s website.
AcA Executive Director Samuel Oliver said, “This change in granting means that we can more
impactfully help organizations with sustaining their regular operations.”
AcA will be hosting an online grant Information Session on Tuesday, July 11, 2023 at 11am via ZOOM.
Interested parties may register for the session HERE.
