Community Arts Access Tier 1 is a grant program that provides up to $3,000 in funds for groups that would like to offer quality arts activities in any discipline to North Dakota communities with a population of 6,000 or less. Community Arts Access Tier 2 supports applicants with a population of 6,000 or more.

Institutional Support is a grant program that provides general operating support to high quality nonprofit arts organizations with an established record of programmatic service and administrative stability that produce, present, or exhibit works of art.
