Funding Arts Broward (FAB) continues its longstanding investment in the community, awarding $387,000 in grants to 37 Broward County arts and cultural programs during its 2027 Grant Cycle Awards Ceremony. The event took place at the Pompano Beach Cultural Center on April 28, drawing grant recipients, donors and arts advocates.
Co-hosted by 2027 Grant Committee co-chairs Katie Adler and Anna Sorenson, the reception featured live performances from grantees, including students from the Art Prevails Project who had received funding from FAB’s Arts Access initiative, in partnership with the Community Foundation of Broward.
“FAB continues to support a rich and diverse arts community,” Jennifer O’Flannery Anderson, president of FAB, said in a statement. “Our record-setting funding rate reflects a more transparent and balanced review process that values both artistic excellence and meaningful educational impact.”
The nonprofit reached a 97% funding rate this cycle, awarding nearly all approved requests and marking its highest funding level per grantee in 23 years. Recipients represented a wide cross-section of the arts, including Symphony of the Americas, Miami City Ballet, Slow Burn Theatre Company, Island City Stage and first-time grantees such as the Miami Chamber Music Society.
Since its founding in 2003, FAB has distributed more than $5.4 million to local arts and culture initiatives.
