About this Grant Category
General Operating Support I Grants (GOS I) are available to non-profit arts and/or humanities organizations that have had both allowable cash operating revenue and expenses of at least $50,000 for the last three completed fiscal years. Grants for FY25 will be awarded for activities occurring between July 1, 2024 and June 30, 2025. General operating support is defined as support for day-to-day operating costs to further the general mission or work of an organization rather than for a specific project. Grant awards support organizations that work in a wide array of arts and humanities disciplines including performing arts, media arts, visual arts, literary arts, folk and traditional arts, history, and philosophy.
Award amounts range from $10,000 up to $50,000.
The grant guidelines and application templates are available on the AHCMC website (https://www.creativemoco.com/grant/gos1/).
All letters of intent, applications, and relevant materials must be submitted through the online SurveyMonkey Apply (SMApply) grants portal.
