Description
The Michigan Arts and Culture Council (MACC), Michigan’s state arts agency administered through the Michigan Economic Development Corporation, provides Mission Support funding to nonprofit arts and culture organizations statewide. The program supports public programs and services that help Michigan communities benefit from the civic, economic, and educational contributions of arts and culture.
Organizations submit a single application covering any or all of five funding categories. Support encompasses basic operating expenses, cultural facility improvements and equipment, educational opportunities for organizational personnel, transportation to arts and cultural experiences, and arts education developed through direct school partnerships. MACC’s vision is a Michigan where communities celebrate creative expression and every person can access or participate in arts and cultural experiences. Applications are evaluated for compliance and eligibility.
