Invitation
The Pocatello Arts Council has funding available to support community enhancing art projects. A limited number of grants are available to support visual, literary, and performance art projects which provide clear benefit to the greater Pocatello area.
Eligibility
Eligibility extends to private not-for-profit agencies as well as to individuals and organized groups of community volunteers (e.g., business district, neighborhood council, community organization). For-profit organizations with an arts mission proposing a unique not-for-profit project designed specifically for public benefit may also apply. The Pocatello Arts Council does not offer grant funding to public/government organizations and entities.
Application
There will be two granting cycles each year. Up to $1000 in total grants will be awarded for each cycle.
- Applications received between October 1 and March 31 will constitute the first granting cycle. These applications will be considered and decided on during the May meeting of the Pocatello Arts Council.
- Applications received between April 1 and September 30 will constitute the second granting cycle. These applications will be considered and decided on during the November meeting of the Pocatello Arts Council.

Grant recipients are expected to communicate with the Pocatello Arts Council by letter or email at the culmination of the grant supported project, providing verification (e.g., program copies, written participant responses, digital photos, video clips, web links) of project completion and impact.
