Creative Capacity FundThe Creative Capacity Fund (CCF) was established in 2009 by an initial consortium of arts funders in the San Francisco Bay Area in an effort to ensure that artists and arts administrators have access to the professional knowledge and skill building resources that will sustain healthy organizations and careers.

Recognizing the valuable role that the Creative Capacity Fund plays in a thriving cultural ecology, funders in the Los Angeles are have now joined the consortium to extend CCF's reach to Southern California. Our partners currently include the City of Los Angeles Department of Cultural Affairs, Grants for the Arts/San Francisco Hotel Tax Fund, San Francisco Arts Commission, The San Francisco Foundation and San José Office of Cultural Affairs. The Fund is administered by the Center for Cultural Innovation, a California-based nonprofit training and financial services incubator for artists and the arts field. 

The Creative Capacity Fund is now accepting applications from creative professionals in Los Angeles and the San Francisco Bay Area for funding to reimburse for expenses to pursue a wide range of local and national professional development activities. Please check the latest CCF guidelines for specific instructions and eligibility information.
