State-Local Partners

The State-Local Partners program provides general operating support and technical assistance for county-designated local arts agencies. The purpose of the program is to foster cultural development on the local level through a partnership between the State and the counties of California. • The program is open to one organization who has finished the State-Local Partner Mentorship Programs and is currently eligible to become a State-Local Partner. • Applicant organization must be designated by their County Board of Supervisors to serve as the State-Local Partner in the county. • The program requires a 1:1 match of award funds for organizations with total revenues of $1,000,000 or more in their most recently completed fiscal year. • The estimated amount per award is dependent on the state budget and Council allocation priorities.
