Seems to only give grants in West Virginia. Not a good target.

Grants Program Reaches Half a Million Dollar Mark!

Each year the Lazy Daze Arts & Crafts Festival brings the streets of Downtown Cary to life with art, music and food. One of the goals of the Lazy Daze Planning Committee is to return money into the Cary community in the form of grants to non-profit organizations. The Lazy Daze grant program is directed toward projects that benefit the Cary community and its citizens. Since the inception of the Lazy Daze Grants Program, more than half a millilon dollars has been returned to the local community. 

Priority is given to grant applications in the following order: 1) Cultural arts organizations or projects with a cultural arts focus; 2) Projects that support overall Town of Cary initiatives; 3) Projects that support downtown Cary initiatives; 4) Other Cary-based, non-profit organization requests.

Unfortunately, 2011 brought quite a challenge for the festival. The arrival of Hurricane Irene forced the cancellation of the festival for the first time in 35 years. It is with sadness that we must announce that for 2011 the grants program will be suspended. Grants are generated from the proceeds of the festival. Since the festival did not occur, the funds are not freed up for the grants program.  We anticipate returning to the program again in 2012.

To be added to the grants interest list, please send your name, organization name, and mailing address tojoy....@townofcary.org. Grant applications are available in the fall of the year and are due in November of each year. Grants are awarded in January.
