Grant Programs
The Riverside Arts Council's grant programs enhance the cultural infastructure by providing stabalizing core support and resources for inclusive,
innovative programs that contribute to the socio-economic development of the community. As part of the City Arts and Cultural Grant, RAC re-grants $280,000 from the city's general fund each year to Riverside Cultural groups for core operating support. With proceeds from its annual fundraiser, the Mayor's Ball for the Arts, RAC grants $25,000 to local cultural and other non-profit groups for community projects to underserved communities as part of the Community Arts Partnership (CAP) Grant. Frequently referred to as the "the best party in Riverside," the Mayor's Ball is much more than just a party. Through
the CAP Grant, it directly impacts more than 50,000 people who might otherwise never be exposed to arts and culture.
