The Pennsylvania Council on the Arts (PCA) is currently accepting applications for the 2024-2025 Creative Sector Flex Fund (CSFF). This grant program aims to provide flexible support to eligible applicants that offer consistent annual artistic programming and/or arts services within Pennsylvania. The fund is designed to bolster the administrative, programmatic, and project-related expenses of arts organizations, aligning with the PCA's mission to support and strengthen the arts community across the state. This initiative reflects the PCA's strategic priority of fostering a vibrant and sustainable creative sector by providing direct financial assistance where it's most needed. The primary beneficiaries of the CSFF are nonprofit, tax-exempt corporations, or units of local government in Pennsylvania that demonstrate a history of at least two years of consistent arts programming. Pre-K-12 public, private, and parochial schools are not eligible, but are directed to other PCA opportunities. The fund targets organizations with an annual average arts revenue between $10,000 and $200,000.

The program prioritizes flexibility, allowing funds to be used for a wide range of needs, including administrative costs, program development, and specific project expenses. This approach is rooted in the understanding that a resilient arts sector requires adaptable support.

Measurable results would include the number of organizations supported, the scope and reach of the artistic programming delivered, and the overall stability of the recipient organizations.
