Decentralized Arts Funding (DAF)

General:

The Louisiana Decentralized Arts Funding Program (DAF) makes the arts available in every parish in the State of Louisiana by providing grant funding for artists, nonprofit organizations, community groups and local government agencies. Funding is allocated to each parish on a per capita basis utilizing U.S. census figures.

Grants are available for arts organizations and for project assistance to a variety of artists and other entities.
