The Micro Arts Program (MAP) supports the work of Kansas organizations with annual total cash income of $20,000 or less. These organizations are the backbone of Kansas’ grassroots arts community, and this program can serve as an introduction to Kansas Arts Commission (KAC) funding by providing grants of $1,000 – $2,000 with 6-month periods of performance and quick turnaround time.

Eligible projects include cultural projects, programs, exhibitions, series, arts education projects, and other arts programming. This program provides funding for arts-centered non-profits to harness the power of the arts to increase student success, foster creative thinking, develop critical job skills, enhance community development, and increase participation in the arts across Kansas.

Kansas Arts Commission MAP Grant

Detalles del premio

MAP grants have a minimum request of $1,000 and a maximum request of $2,000.

KAC requires that all grants are matched at a minimum of 1:1 through a combination of cash and in-kind expenses. For example, if your grant request is $2,000, your organization would be expected to spend $2,000 in expenses from other non-state and non-federal sources towards the project, for total project expenses of $4,000. This can include any allowable in-kind goods or services.

KAC will announce total available funds for this program following the adoption of the budget for the fiscal year through approval by the Kansas Legislature and signature of the Governor.

Minimum Award Amount: $1,000
Maximum Award Amount: $2,000
Period of Performance: July 1 – December 31 OR January 1 – June 30
