$27 Million in Federally-Funded Pandemic Relief Coming for King County Cultural Organizations

4Culture partners with local governments to streamline process for the sector

4Culture is working with our partners at King County and the City of Seattle to build new COVID-19 relief programs for the cultural sector, funded by the American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA). Our shared goal is to put these federal dollars to work supporting as many King County cultural organizations and producers as possible. 
For organizations with 2019 revenue over $1 million:
Today, King County Executive Dow Constantine announced the opening of Revive and Thrive Together. It will provide $20 million in disaster relief and business interruption funds to arts, heritage, or historic preservation organizations with 2019 revenue of more than $1 million. The application opens at KingCountyCreative.com on September 13.
For organizations with 2019 revenue of $1 million and under:
Later this month, 4Culture will open the first phase of our Recovery Fund. Cultural organizations with 2019 revenue of $1 million and below that experienced revenue loss between 2019 and 2020 will be eligible for this program.

Using a single application, these organizations can apply for both ARPA disaster relief grants and 4Culture 2022 Sustained Support funds. Additionally, we’ve partnered with the City of Seattle Office of Arts & Culture to share this application process to better serve cultural organizations within Seattle. This will allow eligible organizations to submit one application to be considered for funding by both agencies. 4Culture and the City of Seattle Office of Arts & Culture will distribute $7 million in federal relief funding.

Full details about eligibility, federal grant contracting requirements, and more will be released when this grant opens on September 23.

The 4Culture Recovery Fund will also offer support for individual artists and cultural producers in the coming months; we will provide more information as we develop the program.
Determining where to apply
Organizations are eligible for either King County's Revive and Thrive Together program or 4Culture's Recovery Fund, not both. They can answer this short series of questions to figure out where to apply.
