If you are working on a project in King County that has arts, heritage, or preservation at its heart, apply for a 4Culture project grant.
They have lots of resources available to help you navigate the process, including virtual workshops happening weekly. If you’re new to 4Culture or to grant funding in general, we encourage you to apply! In addition to a slate of virtual application workshops that you can attend, grant managers are available to answer your questions and provide one-on-one support.
If you anticipate a barrier to your participation due to limited English writing ability, visual impairment, or would like to request assistance to create an application, please contact hello@4culture.org
The deadline to apply is Thursday, March 23.
