Creative Flagstaff is happy to announce that the 2025 Innovation & Capacity Grant program for Projects is now open and accepting applications! Creative Flagstaff expects to award up to $80,000 through these grants. The funding period for these grants is January 1 – December 31, 2025.

There are two types of Project Grants:

Innovation Project Grants – introduce a new program or experience, prove a concept to or for the greater Flagstaff Community

Capacity Grants – build operational capacity in the art, science, and cultural sectors in greater Flagstaff

Innovation and Capacity Grants are funded through City of Flagstaff’s BBB Art & Science fund. Project applications funded through the City of Flagstaff BBB tax revenues must be based in the greater Flagstaff area as defined by the Flagstaff Metropolitan Planning Organization. Subsidiaries are eligible if their parent organization is based in Arizona, are incorporated with the IRS as a nonprofit 501(c)3 or (c)6 organization or have a formal agreement with a nonprofit fiscal sponsor, or are a post-secondary education institution. 

 Capacity building project grants are restricted to organizations that have a primary mission dedicated to produce, present, teach or serve the arts, cultural equity, preservation, or awareness, or produce, present, or teach science programming to the public.

 All applicants are required to watch the recording of the Grant writing presentation held in August 2024. The link to this recording and the grant guidelines can be found on our website here.
