Cultural Service Grant
Program

One of the roles of the Cultural Council is to serve as the official regranting agency for City of Jacksonville funding to arts and cultural organizations. 
​Each year we grant over $2 million to organizations in the Greater Jacksonville area.

What is the Cultural Service Grant Program?

Since 1979, the Cultural Council of Greater Jacksonville has served as the official regranting and administrative agency for City of Jacksonville funding to arts and cultural organizations.  In 1990, the Cultural Service Grant Program (CSGP) was developed from the former Miscellaneous Appropriation for the Arts.
​
This 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).   During the 2020-2021 fiscal year, the Cultural Council will administer nearly two-and-a-half million dollars in grants to Duval County arts and cultural organizations, on behalf of the City of Jacksonville, through the Cultural Service Grant Program (CSGP).  ​

Economic impact of the city's investment in arts and culture:
Cultural Service Grantees annually submit statistics to the Cultural Council, which provide supporting data for the return on the city’s investment in arts and culture.  In 2020, grantees report on the prior, completed fiscal year.  Results for FY2019 include:
  • Total economic impact of $87,423,390 (a $1.9 million increase from FY2018)
    • 594,873 admissions (includes 195,332 free admissions and 88,611 reduced)
    • 238,586 youths benefiting
    • Employment for 1,198 people
    • Engaging 2,947 vendors to support events and programming
    • Attracting 8,030 volunteers who donated 115,231 hours
