ALCA’s program is regranting a total of $91,720 for 30 projects throughout the four counties ALCA, as the region’s decentralization grant program site, serves: Clinton, Essex, Franklin and Hamilton. As in previous years, grants of up to $5,000 were available to eligible organizations and artists based in these four counties. Funding decisions were made by a panel of artists and arts advocates who volunteered their time. For each year’s grant cycle, governmental and quasi-governmental entities, tribal organizations and New York state-designated nonprofits are eligible to be direct applicants, as well as serve as fiscal sponsors. Arts groups that are not official nonprofits and individual artists/artist collectives can apply in collaboration with a fiscal sponsor. Applicants can apply to do up to three projects in the categories of Arts Education and/or Community Arts.
