The Indiana Arts Commission’s Regional Initiative Grant (RIG) program provides funding to arts organizations in order to ensure all Indiana citizens have access to quality arts and cultural activities. The grants are administered by the Tippecanoe Arts Federation, which is one of the IAC’s Regional Arts Partners. All applications to these programs should be submitted through the IAC’s online grant system. For more information, please contact TAF’s Chief Operating Officer at coo@tippecanoearts.org or (765) 423-2787.
Nonprofit organizations, schools, and municipalities located in the counties of Benton, Carroll, Cass, Clinton, Fountain, Howard, Jasper, Newton, Montgomery, Pulaski, Tippecanoe, Tipton, Warren, and White are likely eligible for a Regional Initiative Grant – contact us to learn more!
Applications to the Regional Initiative Grant programs are evaluated by a group of citizen panelists. TAF relies on volunteer panelists to review the grant applications each year. Click here if you are interested in becoming a grant panelist.
