CAH utilizes an online grant portal to receive grant applications. A confirmation email generates automatically upon submission of the application. Technical issues or failure to receive a confirmation email should be immediately brought to the attention of CAH staff. An automated email confirming receipt of an applicant’s submission does not guarantee an applicant’s eligibility, review by the advisory review panel (see below, “Review Process”), or funding.
CAH does not accept mailed, emailed, or hand-delivered copies of grant applications and/or the required attachments. Applicants are fully responsible for the content of their application materials.
CAH will accept reasonable accommodation requests from applicants with disabilities in advance of the application due date to assist them in submitting grant applications via mail, email, or hand-delivery. To request a reasonable accommodation, contact Jenna Kriegel ([email protected]) and await request approval.
Steps to submit include:
- Read the RFA guidelines (this document) and determine eligibility.
- Visit CAH’s grant application portal to sign up for an account or login to an existing account.
- Upon registration, applicants select the desired grant program(s).
- Complete the application questions, budget, and budget narrative data. Note: a competitive application requires substantial responses to these questions and the budget info.
- Budget must include: all artist fees and costs associated with design, fabrication, installation, de-installation for temporary projects (including equipment and storage space rental related to the project), insurance, permits, engineering, travel, transportation to the site, site preparation, artwork documentation, and applicable taxes.)
- Upload required documents, supplementary material, and work samples.
- Double-check the application for thoroughness, clarity, and typographical errors.
- Submit the application by Monday, July 21, 2025, 9:00 pm ET
- Ensure receipt of grant submission confirmation email (auto generated by the online portal) by the application deadline.
CAH’s grant application process is competitive and subject to the availability of funds. Applicants may not request or receive funding for the same activities through more than one CAH program or grant category. Multiple applicants may not apply for funding for the same scope of work, whether through the same or different grant programs.
CAH staff are not permitted to make corrections to applications on behalf of applicants. CAH staff review applications for completeness and contacts applicants for any incomplete documents within five (5) business days of the deadline. Applicants are then responsible for updating their application within five (5) business days of CAH’s notification. Failure to do so will disqualify the application.
