The Lackawanna County Arts and Culture Department has released the criteria for its annual Community Project Grants and Non-Profit Operational Grants.

Individuals, non-profits, and municipalities may apply for a Community Project Grant up to $3,000 for a project that enhances the cultural life of the County.

The Non-Profit & Municipal Operational Grants are only for operational funding. New applicants for this category can apply for a grant up to $5,000. Returning applicants to this category must follow the guidelines listed in the application.

Anyone who is seeking funding for a permanent public art project, such as a sculpture or mural, must contact the Arts & Culture Department directly to discuss the matter.
