The Cultural Endowment Program is designed to create endowments by matching funds to provide operating resources to participating cultural organizations.

- Receipt of a $240,000 State Matching Share (SMS).
Although both parts require the submission of application material, each contains eligibility criteria unique to the components. An organization may be designated as a CSO without applying an SMS. However, CSO designation is an eligibility criterion for receiving an SMS.
Applications for designation as a Cultural Sponsoring Organization may be submitted at any time. See the Cultural Endowment Guidelines for more information.
