EAE Overview
What is the Erie Arts Endowment?
In 1981, Clarence E. Beyers made a significant gift to the Arts
Council of Erie to establish the Erie Arts Endowment. This gift,
plus contributions from others such as Lydia McCain, has grown into
an endowment valued at over $3.5 million. The Erie Arts Endowment provides funding for Arts Council of Erie Project Grants, awarded to community organizations offering performances and
arts events throughout Erie County.
Why do we need the Erie Arts Endowment?
Enjoy seeing Lake Erie Ballet perform “The Nutcracker”
every year? Like the eclectic atmosphere of the annual Blues and
Jazz Festival? The Erie Arts Endowment provides funding to keep
programs like these running year after year. By giving
to the Erie Arts Endowment, you are contributing to an important
source of funding for regional Erie artists in music, dance, theater
and visual art. Your donation helps to keep the arts in Erie alive.
How can my organization receive funding from the Endowment?
Organizations can receive funding
by applying for Arts Council of Erie Project Grants on August 31. Make sure your organization meets the eligibility requirements, review the application guidelines, and submit your application and required materials by the August 31 deadline to be considered for funding.
