Grants increase opportunities for access to arts, science, cultural and
historical programming in Cumberland County. The grants are awarded to
nonprofit agencies in Cumberland County that demonstrate financial and
administrative stability.

the Arts will continue to reach the students and the community by providing
opportunities for engagement via Zoom.
