The Cultural Division offers a variety of Incentive Programs designed to promote the development of Broward-based not-for-profit cultural organizations, municipalities and not-for-profit agencies that sponsor art activities and enhance the cultural environment of the people of Broward County.

Incentive Programs are awarded on a competitive basis and the Broward Board of County Commissioners determines the amount available in any given year. Incentive Programs are paid on a reimbursement basis, contingent upon the successful completion of the project or program and meeting the requirements of the Incentive Program agreement.
