​General Support: This grant program strengthens the community's arts and culture programming access.

Rental Support: In partnership with the Phoenix Convention Center, this program provides facility rental support to those cultural organizations that help revitalize the Phoenix downtown corridor through their presentations at city-owned facilities under the Phoenix Stages Program (Symphony Hall, Orpheum Theatre, and the Herberger Theater Center).
