The Cultural Division offers a variety of grant programs designed to promote the development of Broward-based not-for-profit cultural organizations, municipalities and not-for-profit agencies that sponsor art activities and enhance the cultural environment of the people of Broward County.

Grants are awarded on a competitive basis and the Broward Board of County Commissioners determines the amount available in any given year. Grants are paid on a reimbursement basis, contingent upon a grantee's successful completion of the project or program and meeting the requirements of the grant agreement.
