Does Irvine have a separate review process for unsolicited inquiries to its different programs?
Yes. Applications for Arts funding are accepted only through our Creative Connections Fund, an open, competitive grants program with two rounds of funding each year. For more information about the Creative Connections Fund, click here. Our California Democracy and Youth programs accept unsolicited letters of inquiry, but we are able to fund very few of them. For more information about submitting a letter of inquiry to either of these programs, click here. We do not accept unsolicited inquiries for Special Initiative grants.
