TACA Beneficiaries
When foundations, corporations or individuals make a gift to TACA, they can be assured that the gift is being leveraged through numerous performing arts groups. TACA works with a dynamic group of volunteers to evaluate each agency’s application using the following criteria: artistic merit, administrative/fiscal responsibility, service to the community, and community support and participation. TACA strives to distribute funds where they will have the most impact and nurture artistic excellence in the various performing arts disciplines.
In January TACA awarded a fifth consecutive $1,000,000 in grants to a diverse group of North Texas' performing arts organizations, from the very large and established to the newly emerging.
