The Cultural Division offers a variety of grant programs designed to promote the development of Broward-based not-for-profit cultural organizations, municipalities and not-for-profit agencies that sponsor art activities and enhance the cultural environment of the people of Broward County.

Grants are awarded on a competitive basis and the Broward Board of County Commissioners determines the amount available in any given year. Grants are paid on a reimbursement basis, contingent upon a grantee's successful completion of the project or program and meeting the requirements of the grant agreement.

Broward County Cultural Division grantees are strongly encouraged to attend Broward Arts Connection meetings.  Learn more here
