DIVISION OF THE ARTS GRANTS

The Delaware Division of the Arts offers grants to individual artists; nonprofit, tax-exempt organizations chartered and based in Delaware; and schools and government entities that support arts activities. (See Assistance for the Development of the Arts)

The Delaware Division of the Arts engages Delaware citizens every year to review grant applications for state funding of the arts. The Division selects panelists based on their knowledge and experience in the arts, in business and nonprofit management, and in their community.

To be considered for service on a grant review panel, you may nominate yourself or someone else to the pool. Download the Grant Review Panelist Fact Sheet to learn more about what’s involved in being a grant review panelist, the Grant Panelist Nominee Information Form to nominate yourself, and the Panelist Nomination Form to nominate others.
