Creative Communities Partnership Grant (CCPG)
The Fredericksburg Arts Commission administers the annual Creative Communities Partnership Grant in collaboration with the Virginia Commission for the Arts (VCA). The program is funded with City tax dollars and matching VCA funds to support nonprofit arts organizations that enrich Fredericksburg’s cultural landscape.
This grant provides operational funding—not project-specific funding—to 501(c)(3) nonprofit arts organizations that are physically located within the City of Fredericksburg (22401) and that contribute to the City’s cultural and artistic life through performances, exhibitions, education, and community programming.
