Important note about SCFD funding:
The Bennett Arts Council is thrilled and honored to have received a grant from the Scientific and Cultural Facilities District (SCFD). The Council has been striving for 5 years to be eligible for these funds. A key requirement is a sustainable budget that the SCFD can enhance NOT replace. Our sponsors are crucial to continuing successful grant requests.
