The City of Aspen is awaiting applications for grant money that can go to art and community nonprofits.
For the last few years, around $750,000 have been given to groups like Aspen Film, Theatre Aspen and the Aspen Art Museum alongside other community organizations. Usually, a little more than half of that money goes to those community groups, while the other money goes towards the arts.
The amount of money awarded hasn’t fluctuated much over the past few years. Funding for community non-profits has stayed around $400,000, with arts groups receiving $350,000.
Grant proposals will be reviewed by a citizen grant committee that makes funding recommendations to City Council. As of Thursday, no organizations have applied for this year.
