Mini-Grant Program

Silverton Creative District’s Mini-Grant Program is designed to spark creativity and strengthen community life in Silverton and San Juan County. The program offers grants of up to $500 to individuals, collectives, and organizations whose projects enhance quality of life, enrich the cultural landscape, and bolster the local economy.

The Mini-Grant Program will run two application cycles each year, with deadlines on March 15 and September 15. Award notifications will be made within 60 days of each deadline. Funds can be used for project supplies, artist stipends, workshops, event production, marketing, and other direct project expenses.

Projects will be selected based on their alignment with SCD’s mission to foster creativity, accessibility, and community connection. Proposals must provide a clear cultural or community benefit and demonstrate thoughtful use of funds.

Grant recipients are expected to share the outcomes of their projects through a brief final report and photos, helping SCD highlight the power of creativity in Silverton and San Juan County.
