Cultural Facilities Grant Program The DC Commission on the Arts and Humanities seeks to support improvements to arts and cultural facilities in the District of Columbia. Organizations are invited to apply to the Cultural Facilities Program for one-time capital funding support in the form of matching grants to help defray costs related to the improvement, expansion and rehabilitation of existing buildings owned or leased by nonprofit cultural institutions. The types of facilities involved may include, but are not limited to: museums, galleries, theaters, offices, arts storage/conservation, film exhibition, studios and historic buildings. Examples of funded projects may include roof replacement, HVAC, handicapped accessible bathrooms, theatrical lighting and sound, dance floors, fire safety systems, façade restoration, elevator installation, electrical and advanced networks wiring. This funding is intended to ensure that facilities are safe, comfortable and efficient, so that arts groups may expand audiences and enhance their art form.    The deadline for FY 2009 Cultural Facilities Program applications is Wednesday, June 4, 2008 at 7 pm.    Workshops The Commission will host a workshop to assist organizations in preparing their Cultural Facilities Program applications.
