New York City Department of Cultural Affairs Deadline
The New York City Department of Cultural Affairs is accepting Cultural Development Fund applications for fiscal year 2011.
Who they fund:
DCA will consider proposals in every cultural discipline and from every area of New York City
for services that take place within the five boroughs and within the City’s Fiscal 2011 (July 1,
2010 – June 30, 2011). Funds will be awarded based on a competitive review by a panel that
includes peers in the field as well as representatives of the city’s elected officials.
The fundamental requirement for all proposals is that they represent a cultural activity of
recognized quality that is accessible to the public. Funded services can be as different as the
organizations providing them, but they will all have a common commitment to the theme of
public service and public participation.
Geographic Focus:
