RFAs: Organization Grant for Arts and Cultural Exchange
من نحن
The Asian Cultural Council (ACC) Organization Grant supports nonprofit, academic, and government-affiliated institutions that promote cultural exchange and artistic collaboration between Asia and the United States. The program seeks to strengthen cross-cultural understanding by enabling immersive arts and cultural exchange initiatives, research, professional engagement, and long-term collaboration among artistic communities. Grants of up to USD 50,000 are available to support travel-based cultural immersion, research activities, access to artistic networks, knowledge exchange, and the development of future partnerships. Funded activities must involve exchange or travel between eligible locations in Asia and the United States. In addition to financial support, ACC provides grantees with tailored guidance, professional introductions, logistical assistance, and invitations to relevant cultural events. The program does not fund first-class or business-class airfare (except approved medical exemptions), production costs for works intended for public or commercial presentation, capital expenditures, or travel costs for individuals who are not designated as activity leads or participants.
