Kansas City Region (December 17, 2024) – ArtsKC – Regional Arts Council is thrilled to announce this year’s Mission Support Grant recipients. Designed to support the missions of regional arts nonprofits, Mission Support Grants offer unrestricted awards of $5,000. ArtsKC began offering these grants in a multi-year model that provides two years of funding. This year, 18 organizations started the two-year funding cycle and 22 received their second award, totaling $215,000 of investment.
These organizations were selected based on their community impact, as well as their artistic and programmatic excellence and commitment to promoting diversity, equity, inclusion, and accessibility. In this round, 94% of recipients were diverse-led organizations that received additional funding to support their work.
“We are excited to support these exceptional arts organizations through our grantmaking program,” said ArtsKC Senior Manager, Grants, Tara Karaim. “The work of these organizations perfectly embodies our mission, and we look forward to the continued growth and success of the arts in our city.”
These organizations were selected by a committee of local artists and community members, led by ArtsKC board members Chris Migneron and Tim Marchesi. Learn more about these organizations on our website.
