NASHUA – The Nashua Arts Commission has established this grant program to recognize the contributions made by local nonprofit organizations, which have demonstrated a continued commitment to enriching the lives of area residents through visual and the performing arts.

Grants awarded range between $500 to $5,000 with the ability of the commission to lower the high end of the grant amount if the number of the grants and the amount of money available dictate a change.

Applicants must have demonstrated a commitment to community, education, and quality of life through a consistent expenditure of their own funds to provide programs which benefit the Nashua community at large. This grant is designed to offset some of the organization’s costs of providing programs at little or no cost to Nashua residents. The grant does not fund capital expenses and does not fund 100 percent of any project or program.

Information regarding grant applications is available at https://www.nashuanh.gov/1150/2025-Grant-Application. The deadline for submissions is Dec. 31 at 5 p.m.
