Funding the Arts Through Health-Aligned Grants
Presented Thursday, October 8 11:00-11:45am, Virtual Workshop
with Emily Wolfram, Executive Director, MPAC
As traditional arts grantmakers face rising demand, creative organizations in rural Montana need diverse, resilient funding strategies. This 45-minute session provides a practical roadmap for securing support from health-focused grantmakers, health systems, and regional community foundations.
We will examine key regional funders—including grantmaking healthcare foundations, healthcare providers, and insurers—and explain how creative programs can qualify for health-aligned dollars.
Key Takeaways:
Understanding Community Health Needs Assessments (CHNAs) and how to align creative projects with hospital funding priorities.
Strategies for positioning arts and culture as scalable interventions for rural well-being, behavioral health, and youth resilience.
An overview of upcoming developments in DC to keep an eye on, including the federal OBBBA Rural Health Transformation Program and state-level youth mental health settlement funds going to all 50 states.
