Funding Opportunity to Boost City of Los Angeles Arts and Cultural
Enterprises

Application Deadline: Monday, April 4, 2016 at 12 pm

With support from the Surdna Foundation, the Center for Cultural Innovation
(CCI) and the City of Los Angeles Department of Cultural Affairs (DCA) have
partnered together to create the Creative Economic Development Fund (CEDF),
a funding opportunity for projects that will help launch startup ventures or
expand micro-sized creative enterprises with five or fewer employees. This
year, the partnership will provide $100,000 in grants of up to $12,500 each
to independent businesses, self-employed artists or cultural producers,
artist collectives, or nonprofit organizations with earned income activities
that use commercial strategies in pursuit of an arts or cultural mission.

The objective is to support creative enterprises that will have a positive
economic development impact in the City of Los Angeles. Priority
consideration will be given to enterprises and their projects that will
benefit economically-disadvantaged communities or impact the thoroughfares
of the City's Great Streets Initiative.

Development Fund Program!
