About this program

SVCREATES, in partnership with Applied Materials Foundation, offers Organizational Impact Grants to support small arts organizations in Santa Clara County. These grants aim to strengthen internal systems, structures, and approaches, focusing on areas like fundraising, diversity, equity, and inclusion, and board development. Eligibility is limited to organizations with 501(c)(3) status or a qualified fiscal sponsor, annual operating expenses of $750,000 or less, and a history of receiving at least one SVCREATES grant in the past three years. Organizations must also be based in Santa Clara County, with a primary performance or office space in the county, and serve primarily county residents.
