Granting
The Cultural Alliance of Greater Birmingham's granting programs support, nurture and expand arts and culture in the central Alabama region by providing funding to qualified non-profit organizations and individual artists.
Grants To Individual Artists
The Cultural Alliance believes having a strong base of artists living and working in our community enriches the lives of all citizens and fuels a dynamic economy. Grants to Individual Artists (GIA) support committed, accomplished artists by financially supporting the advancement of their careers as professional artists.
With regret, the GIA program is suspended for 2009. The Alliance remains committed to supporting, nurturing and promoting working artists, and will resume the GIA granting program as soon as we work through current funding challenges.

Jefferson County Community Arts Fund
In December 2004, the Jefferson County Commission established the Jefferson County Community Arts Fund (JCCAF) to be administered by the Cultural Alliance using a process that incorporated national best practices in distributing public funds to arts and cultural organizations.
Over three years, 227 funding awards totaling $14,279,185 were made to 75 Jefferson County-based organizations that integrated arts and cultural activities into the lives of all County residents.
All JCCAF funds have been awarded. The FY08 budget approved by the Jefferson County Commission did not include any funds for JCCAF.
