The General Operating Support Grant Program (GOS) offers general operating support funding to nonprofit arts, humanities and arts education organizations as well as to nonprofit arts, humanities and arts education service organizations. More than 51% of both the organization’s previous year’s cash expenses and programming/services must be devoted to the arts and humanities and/or arts education.

GOS applicants must demonstrate the ways in which their ongoing programming aligns with the DC Commission on the Arts and Humanities (CAH) goal to encourage diverse artistic expressions and learning opportunities, so that all District of Columbia residents and visitors may experience the rich culture of the city. Successful GOS applications must clearly detail their organization’s outstanding leadership and vision, history of arts/humanities programming and strong track record of broad and inclusive community engagement.

The complete Request for Applications (RFA) is available online.

Prospective applicants should read through the Request for Applications (RFA) in its entirety before initiating an application.
