Organization Operations Grant Awards Announced

The Maine Arts Commission is pleased to announce awards for the 2025 Organization Operations Grants. This grant program provides general operating support to nonprofit arts organizations in Maine with annual operating budgets over $25,000. By investing in these organizations, we aim to strengthen Maine’s arts sector, sustain vital infrastructure, and support the creative workforce across the state.

This year, we received 89 applications, and after a thorough review process by community members, 47 organizations have been awarded a total of $268,500 in funding. These grants will help sustain operations and ensure the continued vibrancy of Maine’s arts community.

Congratulations to the awardees, and a heartfelt thank you to all who applied—your dedication to the arts in Maine is truly inspiring!
