The Art & Culture Grant provides general operating support over the course of 3 years to 501(c)(3) or
fiscally sponsored organizations working across artistic disciplines and/or cultural practices throughout Philadelphia.
PCF defines art and culture broadly: art as the expression of creativity, and culture as the shared experience of traditions, histories, values, and environments.
Funding for the Art & Culture Grant is provided by an allocation from The City
of Philadelphia. This allocation, approved by the Mayor and City Council, provides the crucial funds for this grant program. Our fixed grant awards and budget thresholds are then determined yearly, dictated by the amount of funding we
are allocated by the City to award.
Award amounts will begin at $10,000 in 2027 and may vary each year based on PCF’s funding allocation from the City of Philadelphia.
The Community Impact Grant provides additional unrestricted support over the course of 3 years to a subset of eligible Art & Culture grantees with smaller annual operating budgets.
It is designed for organizations rooted in their communities who expand access to art and culture, nurture local artists, and reflect Philadelphia’s diverse voices. Applications will be reviewed by a Peer Panel.
In addition to financial support, recipients will receive access to capacity-building workshops; covering topics such as organizational development, financial planning, and marketing, as well as a capacity-building stipend to invest in an initiative of their choice, helping to strengthen their long-term impact and sustainability.
Funding for Community Impact Grant is provided by The William Penn Foundation.
