Art and Cultural Capital Facility Grants
Art and Cultural Capital Project and Facility Maintenance grants aim to fund capital projects by arts and cultural organizations in Bellevue, WA. Capital Projects include acquiring property, building new facilities, acquiring specialized equipment and other major building renovations. Facility Maintenance includes preventative maintenance and repairs to help preserve existing arts and cultural facilities. This program is closed for new applications; the 2025-26 guidelines can be viewed here.
Eastside Arts Partnership Support Grants
Eastside Arts Partnerships (EAP) provides 2-year operating support to bring the arts to the community, recognizing the value the arts bring to the quality of life, the education and development of children and a sense of connection to the community. Applicants must have a 501 (c) 3 designation or a 501 (c) 3 fiscal sponsor and provide publicly accessible programming. While applying for an EAP grant, applicants can also apply for the PowerUp for Equal Access bonus grant. The application period for EAP grants will open again in 2026 for the 2027-28 funding cycle.
