Impact

Impact is a flexible Cultural Affairs funding category designed to shift focus periodically in response to City priorities. The program can support artists and nonprofit organizations to develop arts and culture projects connected to a defined public purpose, geography, community need, or City initiative.

Recent Cycle

The most recent Impact cycle focused on artists and nonprofit organizations delivering projects in San Diego Communities of Concern and the San Diego Promise Zone. Future cycles may use a different focus based on City priorities and available funding.
