Fulton County Arts & Culture (FCAC) is pleased to announce funding opportunities for the 2026 Contracts for Services (CFS) program. The Fulton County Board of Commissioners provides annual funding for this program, reflecting the County’s longstanding investment in the creative sector and its commitment to expanding arts access for all residents.

Funding awards ranging from $1,000 to $50,000 are available for Fulton County based artists, nonprofit arts, organizations, nonprofit cultural institutions, colleges and universities, schools, municipalities, and community-based nonprofit organizations in the form of essential project support. Projects supported through this program should reflect the diversity of Fulton County, fuel creativity, and expand access to arts experiences for all residents.

“With the continued support of the Fulton County Board of Commissioners, the Arts Council, and our dedicated CFS staff, we are able to strengthen our creative community and expand access to meaningful arts experiences,” said Arts & Culture Director David Manuel. “This program allows us to equip artists and nonprofit organizations with the tools they need to succeed while celebrating the cultural richness that defines Fulton County.”

The CFS program provides both general operating and project support to eligible nonprofit and tax-exempt organizations, including arts and culture organizations, cultural institutions, colleges and universities, and local government units offering ongoing public arts programming. Supported projects highlight the county’s cultural richness, inspire residents, strengthen neighborhoods, and contribute to local economic growth.
