The Community Arts Partnership Program is an initiative of Mayor Dannel P. Malloy to develop audiences for local arts organizations and increase enjoyment of the arts by all Stamford residents. In FY 2007-2008 a total of $50,000 was provided in grants ranging from 1,000 to $6,500 to 21 organizations. Funding for FY 2008-2009 has not been determined.

Eligible applicants include Stamford-based nonprofit organizations and community organizations. All programs must be open to the public. Religious organizations can apply for an arts program that will be open to the public and not related to a religious service. Individual artists must be sponsored by a Stamford-based nonprofit organization. Organizations that receive direct funding from the City of Stamford through the capital or operating budgets for programming and operating expenses are not eligible to apply for funds.

To receive a copy of the application or for more information, please call Erik Larson at 203-977-4053. All applications are due by May 5, 2008.
