Submitting a Proposal

DCA utilizes an online platform powered by SurveyMonkey Apply. The process to prepare and submit a grant proposal will be entirely online via the SurveyMonkey Apply platform. 

Step 1 – Register: Click on the following link to access DCA’s online grant submission system: https://dca-la.smapply.org/

Applicants will need to register for an account. A confirmation email will be sent to your email account with a new link. Clicking on this link will complete the registration process.

Step 2 – Fill Out the Proposal Forms: Information entered in the forms may be saved one section at a time as the form is being filled out. Be sure to save often.

Once all the forms have been filled out, and all artistic documentation, ancillary materials, and supplemental items have been uploaded, the proposal is ready to be submitted.

Step 3 – Submit the Proposal: 

All proposals must be submitted online. Once an applicant clicks on “Submit” in their SurveyMonkey Apply account, no more edits or additions to the proposal may be made. The deadline for submission is 11:59 pm on Friday, October 25, 2024.
