Our grant recipient priorities are programs & organizations focused on education & youth enrichment & the arts.
Applicants may apply for three consecutive years before being asked to take a least a one year break before applying again.

What's The Impact?
In 2012 the festival commission started awarding community grants. Since starting the program we've given back over $500,000.
Two of our larger community grants helped fund the Rodgers Skate Park & Town Clock- 911 Memorial in Downtown Apex.
Most of the grants are awarded to non-profits, agencies or programs making a difference for youth or as part of an arts program.
Every effort is made to award local programs in Apex or that serve Apex residents.
As part of the application process, each recipient can only apply 3 consecutive years before taking a year off from applying.
