SVCREATES is proud to award 2025 Unrestricted Operating Grants to 72 organizations—groups that represent a range of diverse disciplines, cultural practices, and programming! Thank you for all of the work you do for our arts community here in Santa Clara County.

SVCREATES’ unrestricted operating grants, offered in partnership with the County of Santa Clara, provide general operating support for small and mid-size nonprofit arts and culture organizations that:

• Reflect the dynamic, diverse, and innovative character of Santa Clara County
• Demonstrate commitment to equity, inclusion, and artistic vibrancy and relevance
• Positively impact the County’s cultural ecosystem through active and sustained engagement with audiences, volunteers, and artists
• Pursue organizational sustainability in service to the local community

The Unrestricted Operating Grants is SVCREATES’ longest running grant program with funding made possible with support from the County of Santa Clara and the David & Lucile Packard Foundation.
