• Schools Sponsors
  Do you have a company or bank which has "adopted" your school? YAV can co-write a grant to that institution to seek partial or complete underwriting of a project.

• PTA
  The PTA of any school has the ability to generate funds for arts projects. Let us help you discover fund-raising tools to bring YAV to your school.

• Grants
  YAV will write or co-write grants to foundations, corporations and other agencies. Call us for details.

• The Virginia Commission for the Arts
  The VCA offers funding which may support:

  1. School-based artist residencies designed to reinforce curriculum-based arts instruction provided by a school or school division conducted by eligible professional artists.

  2. Professional development opportunities for teachers and artists.

  3. Innovative classroom projects which integrate the arts into non-arts classroom curriculum.

  4. Supplemental art enrichment programs for schools and the communities they serve.

Grant awards are distributed through competitive processes involving statewide review panels or on a first-come, first served basis, depending upon the program.

For information about application procedures, paperwork and eligibility, please contact Tatjana Franke Beylotte, Arts In Education Coordinator of the Virginia Commission for the Arts at 804-225-3132.
