Description
The San Francisco Arts Commission’s Community Investments program supports San Francisco-based artists, arts organizations, and arts communities with an equity lens. Alongside grants, it offers technical assistance and community-based Cultural Centers to strengthen arts and cultural work across the city.
The Arts Commission and Grants for the Arts (GFTA) teams are aligning their grant programs and revising their approach for Fiscal Year 2028. The revisions are intended to reflect expanded policy goals and new City nonprofit procurement and contracting procedures. Details of the FY2028 opportunities, including guidelines and application materials, are expected later in fall 2026.
