The Catalyst Grant is a grant program that aims to close gaps in arts education across our region. Through this grant, we want to foster stronger arts partnerships within the Miami-Dade County Public Schools ecosystem.
Catalyst Grants are multi-year grants (up to $20,000 distributed over two years) for arts education programs, initiatives, and organizations in Miami-Dade. Grant funds are intended to address opportunities for strengthened arts partnerships between nonprofit organizations and Miami-Dade County Public Schools.
