PAC Small Grants

The Partnership for Arts & Culture has been fortunate to receive a generous grant from the Jessie Ball Dupont Foundation.  The grant will provide support for up to 20 grants at $5,000.00 each, with a priority given to projects designed to support low-income communities in Wilmington, DE.

Learn more about the grant. 

The projects should focus on social/environmental justice issues.  A collaboration between a University of Delaware faculty member and a community partner is expected to yield benefits for the University Faculty member and the Community partner.

Projects may consider solutions to challenging health, education and social issues through arts and culture. Interdisciplinary projects are encouraged but not required. The projects may be classified as engaged research/creative activities, or service.
