GRANTMAKING IS THE CORNERSTONE OF OUR WORK
RAC’s approach to grantmaking is rooted in our values. We remain committed to continuing public funding for arts and culture by responding to the needs expressed by the community we serve and by modernizing our practices to improve the way we work.
Through conversations with many of our arts and culture organizations, we have heard that flexible, general operating support remains vital to organizational sustainability, while funding challenges continue to grow across the arts sector.
Guided by this feedback, RAC has refined the 2027-2030 grantmaking model to continue funding a breadth of arts organizations while establishing guardrails for responsible grantmaking, restructuring grant tiers and creating a model of guaranteed annual grants for large arts organizations.
