The 2025-2028 Detroit Arts Support Grants Cycle is Now Open!

Detroit Arts Support (DAS) provides multi-year operating support grants to arts organizations in Wayne, Oakland, and Macomb counties. Supported by the Fred and Barbara Erb Family Foundation, Hudson-Webber Foundation, and The Kresge Foundation, DAS aims to strengthen the sector broadly through consistent support through a diverse set of organizations that contribute to the quality of life in metropolitan Detroit, and provide opportunities for creative expression to people of all backgrounds.

General operating support is not tied to a specific initiative, allowing nonprofits to use these grants to support their day-to-day work, and lessen the impact of unexpected costs such as canceled gigs or shifting funding priorities. This type of support for an organization’s core work helps them to sustain and grow their business over an extended period of time.

The three participating foundations share a single application and review process before making their independent decisions. This partnership streamlines the application process for nonprofit arts organizations, while offering shared learning opportunities and improving systems for data collection and analysis necessary for the participating foundations to make funding decisions.
