Questions
Does FindGrants work for small arts nonprofits?
Yes. Arts nonprofits are a core fit — state and regional arts councils, the NEA, humanities councils, and arts-funding foundations are built into the matching engine. Enter your organization type, discipline, location, and budget, and FindGrants ranks the arts grants you're actually eligible for, including state programs limited to organizations based in your state.
What does it cost an arts organization?
Searching and matching are free. When you're ready to apply, you unlock a complete, export-ready AI-drafted application pack for a single grant for a flat $99 — no subscription, no percentage of the award.
We don't have a grant writer. Can we still apply?
That's exactly who this is built for. FindGrants finds the arts grants you qualify for and the application builder drafts a complete first draft — narrative, budget, and supporting sections — against each funder's requirements, so a small organization without a dedicated grant writer can put together a competitive application.
Should we apply to the NEA or our state arts council first?
For most small arts organizations, the state or regional arts council is the more realistic first funder — the NEA re-grants roughly 40% of its grant dollars to state and regional arts agencies, which then fund local organizations through their own programs. Our guide on how to apply for a state arts council grant walks through the path.
