GRANTS

The Classic Center Cultural Foundation

Downtown Athens, GA

The application deadline for the 2023 Cultural Foundation Community Grant has ended. Thanks to everyone who applied.  Look for the 2024 application in Summer 2024.


Each year, the Cultural Foundation awards grant funding up to a total of $5,000 to support performing, visual, or culinary arts efforts, as well as workforce development initiatives aligning with the hospitality industry in Athens-Clarke County.

The Classic Center Cultural Foundation’s grant funding will require a completed application, a proposal of the project, event, or performance your company/organization is looking to achieve, and a timeline for one calendar year to complete the project.

Last year, the grant was awarded to four programs or projects that support performing, visual, or culinary arts efforts and workforce development initiatives aligning with the hospitality industry in Athens-Clarke County.
