  • Emergency funding is limited to once in three years.
  • Funding is available up to $1,000 per request.
  • Requests greater than $1,000 will be considered depending on funds available at the time of the request.

    a) Need
    b) Use of funds
    c) Future support anticipated from sources other than the Arts Council.

    Eligible applications for Emergency Fund Grants will be reviewed by a panel consisting of one arts council board member, one arts council staff member, and one independent arts professional. FKCA board will consider applications based on the panel recommendation.
