Bonfils-Stanton Foundation Capital Grants

About this grant

Capital grants support capital improvements to an arts and culture organization's space, typically as part of a larger capital campaign; operations, capacity building, and endowments are not funded. Priority goes to projects serving multiple organizations and diverse communities, supporting equitable access, artist live/work space, and filling gaps in the arts ecosystem. Applications are accepted quarterly with published 2026-2027 deadlines.
