ACPC Community Grants Program (Arts Council of Placer County)

About this program

The Arts Council of Placer County (ACPC), as Placer County’s designated arts partner, administers the ACPC Community Grants Program—funded by the Placer County Economic Development Department—to support arts events and projects across Placer County; since 2017 the program has awarded over $615,682. A revised 2024 application process introduced new funding categories, eligibility criteria and a weighted-points priority system; the 2026 grant cycle is open, applicants should read the Grant Application Instructions, may be asked to provide additional materials after submission, and ACPC has offered informational workshops. Specific 2026 deadlines, award amounts and detailed eligibility rules are not provided here, but projects typically must occur within specified timeframes and successful applicants are required to submit a post-event Part II form—consult ACPC’s grant instructions for full requirements.
