The Texas Cultural Trust (TXCT), a nonprofit organization supporting arts access across the state, has announced that its Texas Women for the Arts (TWA) grant application is now open.
TWA, a philanthropic membership organization, awards between $250,000 and $450,000 annually to programs that provide arts education for children in Texas. Since 2005, the organization has granted over $4 million to more than 300 arts organizations, serving nearly 3.6 million children.
In 2023, TWA awarded more than $294,000 to 41 arts programs. Grantees included visual and performing arts programs such as the Arlington Museum of Art’s Arlington ISD/AMA Summer Art Camp; Arts Fort Worth’s Arts in Community Centers initiative; El Paso Children’s Hospital Foundation’s Therapeutic Arts for Oncology Patients program; and River Oaks Chamber Orchestra’s publication and distribution of ROCO’s first children’s book, The Nightingale.
