Grant Basics

Grant Workshops

The NH State Council on the Arts has a variety of grants available for fiscal year 2025. This year, we will offer individual grant review meetings with both new and former applicants.

We have created lots of tutorial videos about how to use our online application system, and on every grant guideline webpage there are specific videos on how to fill out the application and how to fill out the required budget form. Hopefully these will help with any issues that might come up, but we encourage you to contact the appropriate grant coordinator with any questions regarding the grant and application process.

First time applicants are especially encouraged to submit drafts and discuss the process with their grant coordinator. The NHSCA grants team prioritizes one-on-one support during the grant application process.
