PARTNERSHIP GRANT PROGRAM

The Partnership Grant Program has funded schools for the purpose of creating arts education programs that promote student achievement and school improvement through the arts.

Historically, Partnership grants have been the cornerstone of The Center for Arts Education’s grant programs. The goal of the grant program has been to support schools in partnership with arts organizations, cultural institutions, community-based organizations and colleges/universities to develop arts education programs that promote student achievement and school improvement. With multi-year funding, educators have been able to develop sustainable arts integration practices, provide quality arts instruction for students, and utilize the arts to transform school culture.

Partnership grants have generated widespread, long-term impacts on students, teachers, and school communities, as well as collaborating organizations. For more information, see the Partnership Grant Program Impact Summary.
