Mid-America Arts Alliance invites eligible organizations working across all disciplines, including folk and traditional, performing, visual, or literary to apply for an Arts Access Micro-Grant as reimbursement for services that increase the ability of persons with disabilities and persons with limited English proficiency to access artistically excellent and meritorious arts programs.

Applicant organizations must:

  • be a 501(c)3 tax-exempt nonprofit organization, a unit of state or local government, or a federally recognized tribal community;
  • have a valid Data Universal Numbering System ID (DUNS #);
  • be located in the M-AAA region (Arkansas, Kansas, Missouri, Nebraska, Oklahoma, or Texas); and
  • be in good standing with M-AAA, with no overdue or delinquent reports and/or documentation.
  • M-AAA does not accept applications from fiscal agents for this grant program. All applicants should be aware that tax-exempt status will be verified by a third-party entity.

Organizations may submit multiple applications and receive micro-grant awards in the aggregate of no more than $1,000 per fiscal year (July 1–June 30).  Applications are due no less than four weeks before the activity if possible. Applications will be reviewed by M-AAA staff. Reimbursement requires documentation of the arts program and the access service expenditures. Award decisions will be made by email no less than 2 weeks before the first public-facing activity, if possible.
