The Application Process

Guidelines
LOI Form - Due March 2, 2021
The Cultural Service Grant Program was designed to provide public support to arts and cultural organizations that contribute to the quality of life of Duval County's residents. Every year, non-profit organizations in the arts and cultural sector apply to receive City-funded grants to help support their missions and create broader access to the arts in Jacksonville.  City of Jacksonville funds are administered by the Cultural Council of Greater Jacksonville through the Cultural Service Grant Program (CSGP), a competitive grant process governed by City ordinance (Chapter 118, Part 6). Information about applying for the CSGP is outlined below.

HOW TO APPLY FOR A CULTURAL SERVICE GRANT (LOI Deadline 3/2/2021)
The Cultural Council of Greater Jacksonville is now accepting Letters of Intent (LOI) for the 2021-2022 Cultural Service Grant Program (CSGP).  The deadline for receipt of Letters of Intent is Tuesday, March 2, 2021.  Letters of Intent must be submitted online through the Cultural Council’s website:
https://www.culturalcouncil.org/foundant-online-grant-system.html
 
Submission of a Letter of Intent is a required first step in the grant process. CSGP, which is funded through the City of Jacksonville and administered by the Cultural Council of Greater Jacksonville, provides support to Duval County arts and cultural organizations which contribute to the quality of life of Duval County residents.  

For organizations not currently funded through CSGP, completing the Standard Letter of Intent (LOI) is a mandatory prerequisite to completing the full application for the 2021-2022 Cultural Service Grant Program. 
 
Currently-funded organizations must complete an abbreviated version of the LOI to ensure that they have maintained eligibility for CSGP for 2021-2022.  A restricted access code is sent via email to current grantees so they may access this abbreviated LOI form. 
 
The purpose of the LOI is to:
  • Signal the organization's intention to apply for a Cultural Service Grant
  • Determine eligibility for the applicant organization
  • Gather essential information and documentation
  • Inform the Cultural Council of Greater Jacksonville's request for funding to the City of Jacksonville in regards to the Cultural Service Grant Program.
