Through discretionary Arts, Culture, and Community Festivals (ACCF) funds derived from Transient Occupancy Tax (TOT) funds, City Council Offices can award nonprofit organizations funding to promote local arts and culture. ACCF's City Council allocations are governed by Council Policy 100-23, and Transient Occupancy Tax (TOT) is governed by Council Policy 100-03.

Funds awarded to organizations are awarded at the discretion of each Council Office. Allocations are typically offered annually, with the application opening near the beginning of the fiscal year and payments being processed at the end of the fiscal year.

Please note that these allocations are distinct from the City of San Diego’s arts and culture funding categories, including Creative Communities San Diego and the Organizational Support Program.

FY26 ACCF Update:

There are no FY26 ACCF funding allocations. Tentative FY26 CPPS allocations are expected to be announced by the end of October, 2025.
