The RCCAAF Community Arts Grant Applications are now closed for the 24/25 Program Year. Check back in July to learn about this year’s grant awards!

RCCAAF’s Community Arts Grant Program is designed to assist community-based, non-profit organizations, local schools, and individuals with providing arts programs, events, and activities to benefit Rancho Cucamonga residents, or anyone seeking arts experiences within Rancho Cucamonga borders.  The online application is available to local arts organizations and schools to seek grant funds, up to $5,000, for the upcoming fiscal year (July – June).

Individual Artists or groups without a 501(c)3 designation, must apply under a non-profit fiscal agent.
