Tacoma Creates is now accepting applications for its third year of funding, supporting cultural organizations' programs and events to be presented between July 1, 2022 and June 30, 2023.

Funding is determined through a competitive application process and is intended to help eligible non-profit organizations expand equitable access to public programs, grow educational options for youth, increase opportunities in neighborhoods throughout Tacoma, and build sustainability for continued services.
"The cultural sector continues to be resource valued asset in our community, rising to new challenges and continuing to innovate in their programming," said Lisa Jaret, Tacoma Creates Program Manager. Sheree Cooks, Chair of the Tacoma Creates Advisory Board, added, "The way that arts, culture, heritage, and science organizations are connecting with community right now is so important; their good work is directly connected to community health."

Comprehensive Organizational Support Funding
Organizations that apply for Comprehensive Organizational Support funding may request up to 15 percent of their total annual budget, based on the average of their actual income over their last three completed fiscal years, up to a maximum of $400,000. Applicants in this category must be a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization located in the City of Tacoma and provide a wide range of ongoing cultural programs, including programming available to the general public, as well as youth education programs. The deadline to apply is 11:59 PM on March 14, 2022.
Impact Funding
Organizations that apply for Impact Funding may request a minimum of $3,000, and up to $50,000 for a single program or multiple programs. Impact Funding can support general public programs and/or youth education programs. Organizations in this category may be a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization, or may apply with an eligible fiscal sponsor. Business District Associations and Neighborhood Councils recognized by the City of Tacoma, Affiliate Cultural Organizations within a larger non-profit, and organizations that are based in Pierce County but whose primary work happens in Tacoma may also be eligible. The deadline to apply is 11:59 PM on March 28, 2022.
Application Information
Detailed eligibility criteria, program and application guidelines, and access to the online application form are available on the Tacoma Creates website.
