Operating Support Grants

Operating Support grants provide funds for the basic operation of arts organizations in Fairfax County in recognition of the valuable programs and services they provide to County residents. Operating grants also contribute to the stability of these organizations.

All types of organizations received funding including arts education, choral music, dance, instrumental music, opera, and theatre. A detailed list of these grant recipients appears below.
