The MCACA Minigrant Program
The Saginaw Arts and Enrichment Commission (SAEC) is the region seven administrator for the minigrant program of the Michigan Council for Arts and Cultural Affairs (MCACA). Funding is available for arts projects in the four counties of the Great Lakes Bay Region; Arenac, Bay, Midland and Saginaw.
Mini-grants provide up to $4,000 for locally developed, high quality arts projects, which provide special opportunities to address local arts needs and increase public access to the arts. Minigrants support a broad range of artistic expression from all cultures through projects which preserve, produce or present traditional and contemporary arts.
Minigrant dollars, matched by cash or in-kind services, can be used for many types of arts activities such as exhibits, readings, performances, workshops, broadcasts, artist residencies, consultancies, commissions, restorations, festivals, pow wows, conferences, seminars, video and film productions and screenings, publications, and arts activities for students.
Any nonprofit organization or government body including service organizations, public schools, cities, townships and etc. from the four counties may apply. Applications are evaluated by a panel (with representation from each of the four counties) which looks for projects that demonstrate artistic merit, sound planning and management, and community service. Geographic distribution, underserved populations, cultural diversity, and a variety of arts disciplines are considered when determining awards.
