Center for Cultural Innovation - Quick Grant (August 15, 2025)

New updates effective July 16: Please review the updated Quick Grant guidelines before applying to ensure your request is eligible. Notifications for this cycle will be shared via Submittable on September 15, 2025, by 5:00 pm PT. We encourage you to add Submittable to your Safe Senders list so that you don't miss any communications from CCI—see instructions here. -- The Quick Grant program provides up to $600 in professional development funds to staff members of nonprofit arts organizations based in San Francisco or San José, as well as to California-based artists, creatives, cultural practitioners, and cultural producers. This program supports artists and arts workers with funding to enroll in workshops, attend conferences, and work with consultants, coaches, and mentors in order to build their administrative capacity, hone business skills, and strengthen the financial resilience of an organization, artistic practice, or area of cultural production. ANNOUNCEMENT: Effective July 16, 2025, the Quick Grant program is expanding its eligibility to include advocacy education and caregiving expenses. CCI understands that artists face growing pressure to self-advocate in the absence of traditional worker protections. We believe that this change supports the essential skill-building in policy engagement and systems change, critical to enhancing the capacity for artists to practice their work. This update reflects our commitment to strengthening the financial resilience and long-term sustainability of individual artists and arts workers.  WHO CAN APPLY Individual Artists, Creatives, Cultural Practitioners, & Cultural Producers Must currently reside full-time within the State of California Nonprofit Arts Organization Staff Members Staff of a nonprofit, tax-exempt arts organization located in the City and County of San Francisco or the City of San José Staff of a fiscally sponsored arts organization with the majority (i.e., 75%) of the organization's public programming occurring within the City and County of San Francisco or the City of San José (see HOW TO APPLY section for additional eligibility requirements) ELIGIBLE ACTIVITIES To be eligible for Quick Grant funding, activities must: Build administrative capacity, hone business skills, and/or strengthen the financial resilience of the grantee’s practice, area of cultural production, or arts organization.      This includes activities with a focus on advocacy education, technology skill-building, and training in areas like copyright registration or other intellectual property protections.   Begin after the application notification date. For example, for the August 15, 2025, deadline, the proposed activity must start on or after the notification date of September 16, 2025. INELIGIBLE ACTIVITIES At this time, Quick Grant funding cannot support the following: Activities focused primarily on creative or artistic skill development, art teaching/teaching artist methods and techniques, or artistic presentation/production  Activities that support an applicant’s adjacent enterprise Funding to offset applicant’s regular salary or wages or fees for temporary/contract employees Funding to support overhead expenses Funding to purchase art supplies, materials, or advanced inventory  Activities proposed by artists, creatives, cultural practitioners, or cultural producers to support the operations of a nonprofit organization or a role in arts administration, and vice versa, activities proposed by organizational staff to support an individual art or cultural practice  Activities that begin less than one month after the nearest application deadline (applications are due on the 15th of each month); for example, if you apply by the August 15 deadline—between July 16 and August 15—the activity cannot begin until on or after September 16 Funding to offset fees associated with college tuition or college credit activities To view an Application Preview (.doc and .pdf versions), Grant Guidelines, and Frequently Asked Questions, please visit the Quick Grant webpage here.

Hey @writingcommunity - anyone else having a lot of trouble with #submittable? I keep getting error messages from #cloudflare so cannot log on to send out work - even when I'm logged into my own account on another tab?! (frustratingly, no way to submit from that other tab) Any workaround? #techproblems

@Priyajsridhar
Do I prefer email submissions or system ones?

I don't have a preference--either works. Remember to always Read The Submission Guidelines. They're a kind of Shibboleth, sometimes.

I defintely prefer electronic submissions to snail mail, though.

Now, most submissions are done via email or via Moksha, Submittable or similar. What do you think of this?

It's much easier to work on something right up to the deadline--and you won't be stopped if you have a printer problem or run out of supplies!

As an anthologist, it makes it much easier to receive submissions from all over the world. It's also better for the environment. So, definitely in favor.

Link is to open letter to #Submittable, #literary #magazines regarding policies that attract BIPOC or other poorly represented #writers to submit work. Some #journals receive federal money & might be in violation of anti-affirmative action rulings as SCOTUS has recently made in Harvard/University of North Carolina cases. I don’t know if this is meant to be a clever protest or a cynical move or what. But here it is.

It’s happened again. I worked on a personalized cover letter for a magazine listed in Submittable as having free submissions only to find out the tip jar is mandatory. What a waste of my time. Magazines, please don’t do this. Today’s offender is a magazine called The Blood Pudding. #Publishing #LitMags #WritingCommunity #submittable

#Submittable seems to have restored the old layout. Their developers remind me of budding web designers on GeoCities in the late '90s. Like they download some piece of code they didn't understand, installed it, and wrecked the entire site for a day. #WritingCommunity
