In early May 2011, the Madison-Morgan Cultural Center received good news: For the third year in a row, the Center was the recipient of one of the largest awards from the Metropolitan Atlanta Arts Fund. The Cultural Center has received a grant of $60,000 toward their general operations.
The Metropolitan Atlanta Arts Fund is part of the Community Foundation for Greater Atlanta. The Arts Fund 2011 grant program is a resource in Atlanta devoted to helping nonprofit arts organizations adapt to a changing environment by providing general operating support and allowing these organizations to do what they do best – provide innovative and exciting creative work that contributes to the quality of life in their communities. This year’s focus is to provide strategic general operating support to selected small and midsized nonprofit arts organizations within the 23 metro Atlanta counties, guided by a current strategic plan.
Funded organizations will be able to use grant dollars as they see fit to make their organization stronger. Since 2009, the Arts Fund has held two grant cycles each year, distributing $500,000 in each cycle. The grants are supported through the Atlanta Arts Recovery initiative, a $2.5 million, multi-year program launched in 2009 to keep Atlanta arts organizations stable during turbulent financial times.
The Madison-Morgan Cultural Center is a multi-disciplinary non-profit arts organization located in a renovated 1895 Romanesque Revival school building in historic Madison, GA. Through the performing and visual arts, the Center serves an eleven-county area and maintains an active membership base approaching one thousand. Support from the Metropolitan Atlanta Arts Fund provides necessary funding for carrying out the Center’s mission of enhancing education and enjoyment of the arts and humanities through quality exhibitions and performances while preserving its historic building.
