Organization Major Grant and 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 ).

Iowa Arts Council Organization Project Major Grants and Mini Grants support eligible organizations to plan and implement a wide variety of arts-related projects and programs.

The program supports artistic excellence and quality arts experiences for Iowans. Examples include but are not limited to exhibitions, performances, readings, art fairs and festivals, commissioning projects, or developing strategic plans for arts organizations.

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.
