A.C.E. Grant History
The A.C.E. Grant (originally called the Community Enrichment Program) was established by the City Council in May 2006 as a way to financially partner with local organizations to provide events or programs that contribute to quality of life in Derby by promoting artistic, cultural, and entertainment offerings.
The A.C.E. Grant originally offered two application cycles each year. It has since been consolidated to one application period held throughout the month of February with awards announced in March.
