About The Arts dollars Grant Program
Arts Dollars has been granting funds to artists and nonprofits in the Quad Cities region since 1979 thanks to our generous funding partners, who believe in the power of the arts to enrich our communities.
Arts Dollars provides funding for individual artists and nonprofits of all sizes to support arts-centered projects in the Quad Cities and surrounding communities. Our goal is to equip individuals and organizations to engage their community, see a long-lasting benefit from the completed projects and pay artists for their work in the process.

PROJECT CATEGORIES
Each year, artists and nonprofits can apply for grants in one of three categories: Projects, Education, and Capacity-Building.
Applicants may apply in only one category. If your application fits into more than one category, please choose the category that most closely aligns with your goals. Applications will be evaluated by panels of community volunteers according to their artistic merit, community involvement, and administrative ability. Check out the scoring rubric here.
