11)
What types of organizations are eligible for grant funding?
Since the ACC’s program resources are focused on fellowship awards to individuals, the Council’s grants for institutions are usually modest in size. Grants to institutions are generally awarded to support the participation of individual artists, scholars, and specialists from the United States or from Asia in project activities administered by the applicant organization.
Please note that commercial or for-profit entities are not eligible to apply.
