Program Stream

The PPA Program Stream is a funding opportunity of the Pennsylvania Partners in the Arts (PPA), a regionalized funding program of the Pennsylvania Council on the Arts (PCA). The Program Stream offers ongoing support to arts organizations and arts programs with an established history of PCA support.

The Greater Philadelphia Cultural Alliance is the regional partner administering the PPA Program Stream in Bucks, Chester, Delaware, Montgomery, and Philadelphia counties. Eligibility to apply to PPA Program Stream is by invitation only.

Applicants are permitted to submit one (1) application per year to Program Stream. Applicants for PPA Program Stream funding may not also apply for PPA Project funding or the PCA’s Arts Organizations and Arts Programs (AOAP) Track, or Entry Track for the same time period. Stay tuned for the next application deadline. 

Applicants are required to maintain a profile in the Pennsylvania Cultural Data Project (PACDP).

The Program Stream grants initiative is made possible through the Pennsylvania Partners in the Arts of the Pennsylvania Council on the Arts, a state agency. They are funded by the citizens of Pennsylvania through an annual legislative appropriation, and adminstered locally by the Greater Philadelphia Cultural Alliance. The Pennsylvania Council on the Arts is supported by the National Endowment for the Arts, a federal agency.
