The Department for Culture and Creative Development (DCCD) provides financial support to San Antonio eligible nonprofit arts and cultural organizations to support programs and projects that further artistic excellence and foster increased, diverse public participation and awareness of the arts in San Antonio.
Arts funding is the City's investment in arts and cultural activities to help leverage matching funds raised by organizations from other sources including foundations, individuals and corporate sponsors.
The Arts and Cultural Funding process is competitive and utilized to purchase arts and cultural services for the community. All final funding decisions are subject to actual dollars available, City budget priority of services and City Council approval.
The Department for Culture and Creative Development provides financial support to San Antonio nonprofit arts and cultural organizations through its Arts Funding Division in the following categories:
The objective of the Arts Funding Division is to:
- Promote and/or foster cultural tourism.
- Serve a broad multidisciplinary constituency, and to encourage growth and viability within arts of diverse cultures.
- Affirmatively encourage and facilitate the participation of culturally diverse populations, geographically underserved neighborhoods and economically disadvantaged populations, and the disabled.
- Reach and support organizations of all sizes and artists working within all arts disciplines, and support the development of art that is uniquely San Antonio.
- Support organizational growth through strategic planning and professional development.
- Promote the development of agencies and expansion of opportunities for artists, and to provide leverage in helping organizations and artists secure additional support from other sources, both public and private.
PANEL NOMINATIONS
The Arts Funding Division utilizes a panel review process to help arrive at funding recommendations. To assist in this process the Department for Culture and Creative Development solicits panelist nominations from the community.

CLICK HERE FOR MORE INFORMATION ABOUT PROJECT FUNDING
A project is an activity whose objective is the creation, preservation and presentation of an arts and cultural activity. The Project Funding Program provides financial support to specific arts/cultural activities in an organization. The activity is usually separate from the organization’s general operating budget. The Project Funding Program funds on an annual basis with new requests considered annually.
For example, a project can be:
- A presentation that is part of a series;
- A one-time only presentation/event; or
- A series of art events with a continuing theme within the funding cycle. (However, project funding will not provide funding for general operating expenses or for a complete series.)

Community Arts Access Program (CAAP):
It is the goal of the Community Arts Access Program (CAAP) to give San Antonio citizens access to artistic and cultural activities in their own communities. The program makes funding available to local non-profit social service and community-based organizations so they can contract and partner with artists and arts organizations from a DCCD approved roster. They will then be able to bring performances and art activities to all City Council Districts for the benefit of area residents and to further the city’s effort to make their neighborhood a great place to live.

Technical & Economic Development Assistance
The Technical and Economic Development Assistance Program is designed to assist local not for profit arts and cultural organizations and professional artists to pay for specific expenses related to Organizational Stability, Development and Professional Growth.
- All requests must be received by the second Friday of the month.
- Staff will review the request(s) by the close of business on the last day of that month.

Creative Capital:
The Cultural Collaborative division previously sponsored four Professional Artists Development Workshops to benefit 96 local artists. The final workshop was held in 2010. We will no longer be sponsoring these intensive weekend workshops; but will work with community partners to provide additional sessions to the 96 Creative Capital alumni.
