Forsyth County Arts Alliance is a Fund of the North Georgia Community Foundation (NGCF), and our application process is entirely online through the NGCF application portal. Users can log into an existing account or create a new one. If you log in to an existing account you will need to click “Apply” in the upper left to access the new 2026 application.

You can find our general Grant Application Guidelines HERE. The Letter of Intent is submitted first, and its specific guidelines as well as the portal for submission are found at the NGCF application portal.

The Letter of Intent is a condensed version of the proposal that allows the FCAA to get a brief overview of the intended proposal and helps the applicant map out their project ideas and plans, as well as what they will need to accomplish them. The information in the Letter of Intent is not considered binding and is not the complete grant application.
