Like the legendary alligators in New York City sewers, these stories have been passed along through so many people they've gained a measure of credibility just by their longevity.

Arts Loan Fund
The Arts Loan Fund, a program of The Community Foundation for Greater Atlanta and the Metropolitan Atlanta Arts Fund, helps nonprofit arts organizations meet short term capital needs by providing loans. The Loan Fund allows organizations to weather times of short-term cash crisis, seize immediate growth opportunities that require some investment or maintain steady operations while waiting for pledged public or private grant funds or other verifiable sources of funds to come in. Because of its year-round accessibility and quick approval process, it serves as a valuable source of alternative short-term financing for organizations that typically juggle cyclical grant payments and seasonal ticket sales. In most cases, applicants will be notified of the decision on their application within two weeks.
Non-profit arts organizations with at least three years' operating experience can apply for loans to meet their need for short-term liquidity without sacrificing long-term capital investments. To learn more visit: www.MetroAtlantaArtsFund.org or contact Sandy Kring, Administrator, at 404-526-1130 or artsloanfund@atlcf.org
