The Cultural Facilities grant program is administered by the Vermont Arts Council in conjunction with the Vermont Historical Society, the Vermont Museum & Gallery Alliance, and the Vermont Division for Historic Preservation.
Now in its 21st year, the purpose of this program is to assist Vermont nonprofit organizations and municipalities enhance, create or expand the capacity of an existing building to provide cultural activities for the public. It is funded through an annual appropriation in the Capital Budget.
The facility improvements resulting from these grants enable citizens of all ages and abilities to enjoy more cultural events while increasing their participation in the heritage of their communities.
