South Arts, in partnership with the National Endowment for the Arts, offers small Micro Accessibility Grants designed to supplement existing efforts by arts organizations to engage audiences and artists with disabilities. This initiative aligns with South Arts' core belief that "the arts are for everyone" and that "the arts enrich the lives of people of all abilities and backgrounds." By providing micro-funding, South Arts aims to amplify the success of the Southeast's arts ecology, ensuring broader access and participation. The target beneficiaries of this grant program are arts organizations located in Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, North Carolina, South Carolina, and Tennessee. Specifically, South Arts seeks to support organizations with a primary mission focused on the arts, those serving as primary arts providers in their communities, or those committed to projects connecting the arts to persons with disabilities. A key impact goal is to encourage arts organizations to hire artistic personnel of all abilities, with a particular emphasis on working directly with artists who identify as disabled, thereby fostering a more inclusive and diverse artistic landscape. South Arts prioritizes applications from BIPOC and LGBTQIA+ identifying organizations, as well as organizations led by persons with disabilities or those providing significant programming to artists or audiences with disabilities. Furthermore, there is a strong commitment to funding arts organizations in rural communities with populations under 50,000. These strategic priorities underscore South Arts' theory of change, which posits that by supporting diverse leadership and inclusive programming, they can foster a more equitable and accessible arts environment across the Southeast. Applicants can request funding of $500-$2,500 for eligible projects, with a requirement for a 1:1 funding match, where 50% must be a cash match. Expected outcomes include increased participation of artists and audiences with disabilities in arts programming and a strengthening of arts organizations' capacity to serve these communities. While specific measurable results are not detailed, the focus on direct engagement with disabled artists and audiences suggests that success will be gauged by the reach and inclusivity of funded projects within the South Arts service region.

This grant program aligns with the foundation's broader mission to support and strengthen the communities it serves, specifically by investing in the education sector. The initiative is designed to fund projects that provide additional resources and experiences beyond what is typically available through public funding, thereby fostering innovation and addressing specific needs within local schools. The grant program targets a wide range of beneficiaries, including educators, support personnel, students, and PTA's/PTO's within the public schools of Floyd, Giles, Montgomery, Pulaski, and Wythe counties, as well as the City of Radford. Additionally, Head Start programs serving Montgomery County and projects from the MCPS central office, Montgomery Central, or the NRV Juvenile Detention Home are eligible. The primary impact goal is to create opportunities that directly benefit students, personnel, and the school community, leading to improved educational outcomes and a more enriched learning environment. The program prioritizes projects that demonstrate a clear need and offer creative solutions that go above and beyond existing public provisions. Evaluators will focus on the extent to which proposed projects meet identified needs and the potential for significant, positive impact on students, personnel, and the school system as a whole. This includes considering how well the project provides opportunities that are truly supplemental and innovative, aligning with the CFNRV's strategic priority of fostering robust educational ecosystems in the region. The expected outcomes include enhanced learning experiences for students, increased support for educational staff, and a more dynamic and resourceful school environment. Measurable results will likely be derived from how well the proposed projects address the described needs and the tangible benefits they deliver to the target population. The CFNRV's theory of change appears to center on the idea that by strategically funding supplemental educational initiatives, they can stimulate growth, address gaps in public funding, and ultimately contribute to the long-term well-being and development of the New River Valley's youth and educational institutions. The grants range from $1,000 to $10,000, with an amount available up to $2,000, indicating a focus on funding a variety of impactful, smaller-scale projects. Applications are due by July 19, 2024.
