Fifty arts organizations across Dallas County will receive a total of $650,000 in 2025 Catalyst Grants from TACA, an organization motivated to invest in the vibrancy and resilience of a diverse Dallas arts community.
The grants will address art organizations’ most pressing needs and further TACA’s mission of building a dynamic, sustainable arts collective.
“In a city that is growing in both size and artistic ambition, these funds are essential infrastructure,” said Maura Sheffler, Donna Wilhelm Family President and Executive Director of TACA.
The Catalyst Grants are unrestricted, allowing arts organizations to allocate funds wherever they’re most needed, whether that means expanding access, retaining artistic talent, launching bold new programming, or simply reinforcing their foundation.
This year’s grants bring TACA’s cumulative general operating investment to more than $32 million since the organization’s founding.
