Monroe County Executive Adam J. Bello today announced that the online grant application for mid‐sized arts organizations will be reopened to new applicants for 2024. There will be a short window of time for organizations who did not apply to the first round of funding, and who are seeking funding for 2024 operating expenditures. Applications and FAQs are available at www.monroecounty.gov/artsgrant. All applications must be submitted by 5 p.m. Friday, November 22, 2024.

The organization must have been legally recognized for at least one year as a 501(c)3 organization or LLC with a tax filing;
