Please read the information below before applying.
Eligibility
CAC only serves students actively enrolled in a K-12 school in Maine and New Hampshire, and these students must be between the ages of 5-19.
Limits on Funding
As a general rule, CAC limits students who apply for materials (instruments, art supplies, cameras, other creative gear) to $500 per calendar year.
Currently, our funding is limited to
$300 per student. Funding is limited to $1000 per family for materials per calendar year.
Funding for K-2 is limited to art supplies.
Your student must be at least seven years old to apply for an instrument and/or music and art lessons.
Verification
Please provide the name of a school teacher or administrator (principal, vice principal, dean, or guidance counselor) with whom we can follow up to verify your enrollment. We will follow up with this contact to verify your enrollment. If you or your child is homeschooled, we will still need the name of a school contact. Inactive K-12 students are ineligible for assistance.
Approval Process
CAC reserves the right to approve or deny any application.
Restricted Items
We do not fund the purchase of computers. We also do not fund dance, gymnastics, or culinary arts.
By submitting this application, you agree to all the above statements.
After you apply, please check your email or text for follow-up questions. This may take several days.
IMPORTANT: If approved, after you receive your instrument, art supplies, or creative materials, please text or email a photo of the student holding the instrument or art supplies (or something the student created with the art supplies) to 207-251-9196 or info@continuumarts.org. By sending us your or your student's photo, you agree to allow it to be used only for publicity. These photos help us raise awareness and funds for our service programs.
