Arts in Education Major Grant & Mini Grant

Note: All Major and Mini Grant applications must be submitted online using the eGRANT system. (But plan ahead – some portions must be sent or delivered, as well!)

Download the eGRANT tutorial for instructions on how to use the new system (4 MG ).

The Iowa Arts Council is committed to supporting education in and through the arts for all Iowa students. The Arts in Education Major Grant and Mini Grant category supports arts education opportunities that create new programs or expand or enhance existing programs in Iowa schools and communities.

Projects could include, but are not limited to those that do the following.

• Bring schools and local civic or community organizations together to collaboratively develop educational art experiences
• Assist educators in implementing innovative goals and strategies in the arts curriculum
• Integrate the arts into other core subjects, such as reading, writing, history, math, science, and social studies
• Reflect the rich cultural diversity of our state and enable learning in and through the arts of many cultures
  

Grant Amount

You may request up to $10,000 for a Major Grant or up to $1,500 for a Mini Grant, but no more than 50 percent of the total expenses of the project.
