Donate Now

Dear Friends,

Thanks for the many expressions of support we have received. As the holidays approach, we once again appeal to your generosity and ask that you support the work of BCA.  

BCA works tirelessly to nurture the arts and culture ecosystem of our borough through grants and programs that benefit seniors, youth, and the entire community. BCA’s programs and resources help support the artists and cultural organizations that bring free and amazing cultural programming to all of us in The Bronx. It’s a great honor to witness artists contributing to the wellbeing of our local communities every day through their involvement in BCA initiatives. You can be part of that legacy.

Please continue supporting the arts and nurturing creativity in our borough by making a donation today. No contribution is too large or too small. We’re counting on your support to continue to make the magic happen.

Viviana Bianchi,
Executive Director

BECOME A GRANTS PANELIST

BCA 2024 GRANT CYCLE

BCA seeks artists, arts professionals, and nonprofit and community leaders to serve as panelists for our 2024 and future grant cycles.

Grants panelists review and score applications, provide invaluable panelist comments, and recommend recipients for funding. They play a key role in the grant process, and their knowledge and expertise are crucial in shaping how funds are distributed. Potential panelists from all boroughs are welcome to apply, as BCA’s different grant programs require panelists from in and outside of the Bronx. BCA supports panel diversity in all forms: age, race, gender, disability, sexual orientation, artistic discipline, location, etc.

Selected panelists will be contacted during grant season (fall/winter). All panelists will receive a modest fee.
