DC Commission on the Arts and Humanities Arts and Humanities Fellowship Program

The DC Commission on the Arts and Humanities (DCCAH) utilizes an online grant portal. All applications must be submitted online by 4:00pm of the deadline date. Incomplete or late applications, or applications which do not follow the instructions, will be ineligible for review and funding. The FY2017 grant period is from October 1, 2015 to September 30, 2016. Grant funds may not be used for project activities that occur prior to October 1, 2016. DCCAH will not accept mailed, emailed or hand-delivered copies of grant applications.
