The Cultural Facilities grant category supports the development of cultural facilities that are thoughtfully planned and developed, and contribute to the cultural and economic lives of their communities. These grants may be used for the renovation, maintenance, and purchase of major equipment needs of cultural facilities.

At least two estimates must be obtained. Facilities must meet minimum standards for architecturally barrier-free entry before organizations may apply for a Cultural Facilities Grant for any need other than to assist them in meeting those standards. Priority will be given to applications accompanied by a facility plan of at least three years in scope, including immediate and long-term building maintenance needs and a budget projecting expenses and sources of revenue dedicated to meeting those needs.
