About Private Grants
The Cultural Council of Greater Jacksonville is passionate about fostering creativity, supporting cultural organizations and individual artists, while nurturing cultural endeavors across the city, not only through public grants, but also through strategic partnerships and private grants.
Our private grants program aims to provide financial support, resources, professional development and offer additional opportunities for our local artists and cultural organizations. These private grants are made possible through the generosity of private donors who share the same vision for a vibrant and diverse cultural landscape. Join trailblazing partners like PNC and Florida Blue who are driving the arts and culture scene forward.
