Grants for the Arts

As part of our mission to facilitate and preserve all forms of artistic expression in Cayman, the Cultural Foundation awards financial grants to individuals, groups and organisations to help further development, to assist in bringing a worthy project to fruition, or in some cases to support an ongoing project or programme. The CNCF Grants and Awards Committee reviews the applications to determine if the application has merit and decides if the dollar amount applied for should be granted, or granted in a reduced amount. The committee members are Board Members Lorna Reid and Morgan DaCosta, and Mary Anne Kosa. Each term committee members are joined by experienced members from the Cayman Islands arts community, depending on the range of applicants. CNCF has awarded grants for training, productions, publications, attendance at festivals and special projects.

UPCOMING DEADLINE: July 15th, 2013
