FY26 Large Capital Projects (CAP) Workshop

Large Capital Project Program Overview and Goals

The Commission on the Arts and Humanities (“CAH” or “the Agency”) seeks applications for the FY26 Large Capital Projects (“LCP”) Program Grant. LCP furthers CAH’s mission by encouraging progress in the arts and humanities in the District of Columbia by supporting non-profit arts, humanities, arts education, and service organizations that significantly contribute to the District of Columbia as a world-class cultural capital. Grants are awarded on a competitive basis for the purpose of supporting either improvements or purchase of a facility located in the District of Columbia whose primary function centers on the training, management, production, or presentation of performances or exhibitions of the arts or humanities. To qualify for this grant, applicants must either own or have at least seven years remaining on an existing 30-year lease of the facility in question. Additional criteria are outlined below.

LCP program goals are to:

· Promote the stability, sustainable growth, and longevity of the District’s arts and humanities organizations.

· Preserve and strengthen structures, systems, and infrastructure for District arts and humanities organizations, their constituents, and their collections.

· Reduce the risk of organizational displacement.

· Foster arts and humanities access for all District residents.
