Important to note is the New Online Grant System IACA launched earlier this year:

  • The online grant system manages applications, grant agreements, and reports for all grant programs.
  • The system was developed in Salesforce. If you have applied within the past year all your need to do is login to your account to access the application.
  • If you are a new applicant, please create an account in the system: arts-illinois.force.com
  • More information on this new online system can be found on our website, including a user manual.
  • To help you navigate the new system there is a webinar recording done earlier this year.
