The Projects, Events and Festivals (PEF) grant provides project support for individuals and organizations. The goal of this program is to support projects that promote arts and humanities activities to diverse communities in DC. CAH highly encourages small, medium and large projects that have District impact and engage District residents and visitors. Also, CAH encourages community-based projects that share characteristics such as geographic location, common interests or a collective identity.
The grantees and award amounts listed on this page reflect funding that has been reviewed and approved by the DC Commission on the Arts and Humanities. However, inclusion on this list does not guarantee that the award was accepted or disbursed. In some cases, funding may not be issued due to reasons we are unable to share publicly, including but not limited to grant award restrictions or noncompliance.
