Mission & Introduction

Mission - Enhancing the community’s cultural environment through development of the arts.

Introduction - 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 arts activities and enhance the cultural environment for the people of Broward County.

Grants are awarded on a competitive basis and the Broward County 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.
