ADVANCING ARTS LEADERSHIP THROUGH PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT

Creative Capacity Fund (CCF) was launched in 2009 by a consortium of California arts funders to strengthen the work of artists and arts administrators by improving access to information and professional development resources. CCF strengthens the support system for California artists and arts administrators by providing professional development grants for individual artists and organizations.

The Quick Grant Program provides reimbursement funds to nonprofit organizations and individual artists in the San Francisco Bay Area and Los Angeles to enroll in workshops, attend conferences, and to work with consultants and coaches to build administrative and business skills and strengthen the economic sustainability of an organization or arts practice.
