Fairfield — The Fairfield Cultural Alliance (FCA) is now accepting applications for its annual Mini Grant Program, designed to support arts, culture, and heritage projects within the Fairfield Cultural District and surrounding areas.
The FCA Mini Grants provide funding — typically up to $500 — for individuals, groups, and nonprofit organizations creating projects that enrich the cultural landscape of Fairfield. From public performances to educational workshops, community murals to heritage celebrations, these grants fuel creative work that connects, uplifts, and inspires.
Applications are being accepted now through Sept. 30, 2025, and recipients will be honored at the annual Arts & Culture Celebration & Networking Gala later this fall.
“This is one of the most direct ways we support Fairfield’s creative community,” says Jasmin Bode, FCA President. “These small grants can have an outsized impact, whether through funding the spark of a new idea, amplifying an artist’s voice, or bringing neighbors together through shared cultural experiences.”
