The Missouri Arts Council's Partnership Grants program supports special initiatives that closely align with the Council’s strategic goals: engaging people in meaningful arts experiences, growing Missouri’s economy through the arts, and strengthening education via the arts.

Partnership Grants are intended to foster collaboration with local or statewide partners and provide a framework for evaluation and future partnership development. Funding is available by invitation only.
