ArtsWave Pride Grant Program
In 2018 we created a Pride Grant Program, an initiative from our Pride Committee, funded by a portion of the contributions made by Pride members to the ArtsWave Community Campaign. This specialized grant is awarded to arts organizations who create programming specifically geared towards the LGBTQIA+ community.
