The Neighborhood Fund, established with support from the Charles Stewart Mott Foundation, aims to equip metro Atlanta neighborhoods with the resources needed for community enhancement projects, leadership development among residents, and organizational growth for groups leading these initiatives. Over three decades, it has allocated approximately $3.2 million in grants and training to support civic engagement, cultural events, green spaces, youth opportunities, community safety, and more.
The grant, named "A Place to Exhibit," is designed to assist nonprofit film and visual arts organizations in accessing exhibition and screening venues. This grant program’s objective is to facilitate the production of public arts experiences by covering costs related to venue rental, including gallery spaces, equipment, and technician fees necessary for the organization. This initiative recognizes the importance of supporting arts organizations to thrive and engage community members through visual arts and film.
