The grant comes from the Creative Asset Grant Program overseen by the Pennsylvania Council on the Arts. It is a reimbursement-based grant program for which grantees must first incur and pay for eligible expenses, then submit an invoice or final report with required documentation.
The program supports small- to mid-sized creative organizations with revenues between $100,000 and $2 million. Grant amounts typically range from $10,000 to $15,000 per organization.
