2026 Performance and Visual Arts Grants

Funding Arts Broward, Inc. (FAB) supports the cultural enrichment of Broward County by providing grants to nonprofit visual, music, and performing arts organizations that present high-quality programs in the county. The organization also offers Education Grants for arts education programs aimed at grades K-12, focusing on art appreciation and skill acquisition. Eligible applicants must be based in Broward, Palm Beach, or Miami-Dade counties and must present their programs in Broward County. The grant process involves a competitive annual review where finalists are selected through a rigorous evaluation conducted by trained FAB member volunteers. The final grant recipients are determined by a majority vote of the full membership. Organizations must meet specific eligibility requirements, including having an annual revenue of at least $50,000 as reported on their latest IRS Form 990. For the Visual and Performing Arts Grants, organizations with budgets of $500,000 or more may request up to $15,000, while those with budgets between $100,000 and $500,000 may request up to $12,500. Organizations with budgets under $100,000 may request up to $7,500. Each applicant may only submit one application for this grant category but may also apply for an Education Grant for a different program. FAB Education Grants, capped at $10,000 (or $7,500 for organizations with budgets under $100,000), support arts education programs for K-12 students. Programs must take place between January 1 and December 31, 2026. To apply for the 2026 grants, organizations must first complete a pre-qualification process, even if they have previously received FAB funding. The pre-qualification form is due by December 9, 2024, and must be approved before submitting a full grant application. The grant application will open on October 18, 2024, with a final submission deadline of January 27, 2025, by 10:00 pm.
