The Creative Sector Flex Fund (CSFF), launched in 2023 by the Pennsylvania Council on the Arts, aims to support eligible arts organizations in Pennsylvania by providing flexible grants of $5,000. These funds can be used for a variety of expenses, including administrative, programmatic, and project-related costs. The initiative targets organizations with annual revenues between $10,000 and $200,000 that have a consistent track record of arts programming or services.
The fund opens in June 2024 for the 2024-2025 grant year. Eligible applicants must submit a Letter of Interest (LOI) by July 15, 2024, followed by a full application if deemed eligible. Grants must be matched dollar-for-dollar by the organization and used for activities within the 2025 calendar year. The CSFF seeks to address the evolving needs of dynamic arts organizations in Pennsylvania, with a focus on community impact, diversity, equity, inclusion, and financial stewardship.
