MRAC is changing to a new Online Grant System

The Metropolitan Regional Arts Council (MRAC) is excited to be changing our grant system to Submittable. Many of you may already be familiar with Submittable, as it is used by other funders in Minnesota. You might have also applied for MRAC programs Artists’ Futures and Next Step Fund through this grant system.

If you haven’t used Submittable yet, you can expect an improved user experience with simplified applications and better accessibility features. We are happy to be making this transition for all of MRAC’s grant programs!

MRAC will reach out with next steps

Current Grantees and Applicants

In the next few months, MRAC will connect with you on transitioning from our current grant system to the new system in Submittable.

Past Grantees and Applicants

MRAC will follow up with all users of our current system on what to do with your application history and the timeline for phasing out the current grant system.

Next Year Applicants

As program guidelines and information for MRAC’s next grant year are published (estimated early this fall), we will include instructions on how to set up an account if you have never used Submittable before. Note: if you already have an account with Submittable, you will not have to create a new account.

Thank You

MRAC appreciates all of the feedback you have shared about our current grant system, especially over the past few years. We are confident that Submittable will help us to provide you with a more positive and more accessible application experience.
