Grants

The Oklahoma Arts Council is in the process of redesigning the online grant application system. After months of development, the changes are being phased in by grant category starting with Major Grant Support and are effective for FY10 applications.

Changes include a major reduction in the amount of support material required, streamlined language and a condensed application form so that it is simpler and quicker to fill out.

Have you applied for a grant before?
If yes, the Oklahoma Arts Council has your e-mail in the system and will notify your organization how to access the FY10 applications when your category is available.

Are you new to the system?
You will need to apply for a login to access the grants system. E-mail the Grants Director Kim McCoy to request a login form.
