Grant Programs
As part of the mission of COMPAS, we engage communities in providing support to arts activities that work at the grass-roots level. COMPAS has a long history of grantmaking in the arts community through partnerships with a variety of foundations and corporations. COMPAS administers the following grant programs:
United Arts Fund
United Arts Fund lets workplace donors (along with individuals, corporations and foundations) target their dollars to Minnesota community and school-based artists and arts organizations by administering three grant-making programs:
In the past four years, over $1 million has been raised through workplace philanthropy.
Travelers Arts & Diversity Grants
Travelers’ Arts & Diversity Grants Committee — through COMPAS — grants funding twice a year to organizations that use the arts as a communication tool to broaden and deepen learning opportunities of middle and high school-aged students in Saint Paul Public Schools, and extends participation opportunities deep into the community. Preference is given to organizations that benefit financially disadvantaged youth in the East Metro area.
