The Statewide Community Regrant Program was developed by the New York State Council on the Arts, in 1977, in response to a mandate by New York’s Legislature that there be a greater local involvement in funding decisions, affecting local non-profit organizations, offering artistic or cultural services and programs, and to ensure New York State’s cultural funding reached every part of the State. The program is funded statewide – in all 62 counties, and funds are regranted by local arts agencies through a transparent peer panel funding process. An organization or individual with a fiscal agent that meets NYSCA and GO ART! criteria may request regrant funds. Through the Statewide Community Regrant Program (SCR Program), GO ART!, NYSCA and the New York State Legislature hope to extend, upgrade and increase the arts and cultural programming in Genesee and Orleans Counties. The goal is to make state arts support available to geographically, economically, and ethnically diverse segments of the state’s population.
Awards are based on a competitive peer panel review process. A panel composed of artists, arts administrators, and community members familiar with local arts and cultural activities, acting in accordance with NYSCA’s guidelines review each project on the basis of its own merits and against others in the application pool. To volunteer to sit on a panel or nominate a panelist please submit the form below.
