Past MCAF Grantees

The Manhattan Community Arts Fund (MCAF) supports local arts organizations and individual artists that have little access to other government funding sources. MCAF seeks to provide small grants for arts projects and local artists serving Manhattan communities. MCAF is funded by the New York City of Cultural Affairs (DCA). Lower Manhattan Cultural Council has been regranting these funds annually since 1984. See below for lists of MCAF grantees from the past few years.
