2026 Grantees

A panel of six community members, with experience in various aspects of the arts, review eligible applications. Each selection panel serves for one year and the names of the panelists are made public each December after all funding decisions have been announced. SAGA will grant a total of $166,000 to the arts and culture communities in the Spokane region in 2026.
