Quick Grant Program

ADVANCING ARTS LEADERSHIP THROUGH PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT

The Quick Grant program was launched in 2009 by a consortium of California arts funders to strengthen the work of artists and arts administrators by improving access to information and professional development resources. Since then, the program has continued to strengthen the support system for California arts and culture producers and administrators by providing professional development grants.

The Quick Grant program awards reimbursement funds to San Francisco Bay Area nonprofit arts organizations and artists, creatives, cultural practitioners, and cultural producers in the state of California to enroll in workshops, attend conferences, and work with consultants, coaches, and mentors in order to build administrative capacity, hone business skills, and strengthen the economic sustainability of an organization, arts practice, or area of cultural production.
