Description
The Experience Support Grant Program, administered by the Michigan Arts and Culture Council (MACC), provides project-based funding to Michigan organizations whose primary mission is not arts or culture. The program is designed to expand access to arts and cultural experiences by supporting projects that creatively integrate these elements into the work of municipalities, schools, tribal entities, and non-arts nonprofits. Organizations may apply for funding in one or more categories—including Project Support, Facility Improvement & Equipment, Professional/Organizational Development, and Field Trips—to enhance their programming and community impact through the arts.
