About the Statewide Community Regrant Program
The Statewide Community Regrant Program was developed by the New York State Council on the Arts in
response to a mandate by New York’s Legislature that there be a greater local involvement in funding
decisions, affecting local non-profit organizations, offering artistic or cultural services and programs, and
to ensure New York State’s cultural funding reached every part of the State. Through the Statewide
Community Regrant Program (SCR Program), GO ART!, NYSCA and the New York State Legislature hope
to extend, upgrade and increase the arts and cultural programming in Genesee and Orleans Counties,
making it more accessible to community members. The goal is to make state arts support available to
geographically, economically, and ethnically diverse segments of the state’s population. In 2023, the SCR
program provided $210,000 in funding for over 50 projects in Genesee and Orleans Counties. In 2024,
the SCR program provided $336,000 in funding for over 80 projects.
GO ART!’s Statewide Community Regrant program is made possible by the New York State Council on the
Arts with the support of the Office of the Governor and the New York State Legislature
