The PA Council on the Arts is accepting applications for the Creative Communities Initiative grant, which provides multi-year funding for place-based, community-driven, arts-based projects that are of, by, and for the community. Townships are eligible to apply as part of a partnership with at least one other organization through November 22, 2024. 

Eligible projects can use any artistic discipline to create change by addressing a wide variety of community issues, including but not limited to economic development, the environment, safety, transportation, housing, health, beautification, social justice, and social cohesion. For more information, view the grant guidelines or contact Sarah Merritt, Director of Pennsylvania Creative Communities and the Creative Economy, at skmerritt@pa.gov.
