If you are a non-profit under the umbrella of the arts surrounding Macon County, a non-profit is giving you a few extra days to get in requests for grant funding.

On the WHOW Morning Show Tuesday, Executive Director of the Decatur Area Arts Council Jerry Johnson told Regional Radio the deadline for its most recent grant cycle has been pushed back to this Monday, June 12.

Requests for grant funding can cover a variety of needs within the arts community. According to Johnson, they receive requests from school groups putting on productions to community arts groups starting new programs.

Johnson believes if you can take a little bit of time to dedicate to the grant writing, it isn't a strenuous process. He points out they have staff available Monday through Friday to help those who may have questions available that can answer questions about the grant application.
