\u201cIn a rapidly changing world, Dallas\u2019 arts organizations are meeting the moment with ingenuity, grit and boundless creativity,\u201d said Maura Sheffler, Donna Wilhelm Family President and Executive Directorof TACA.<\/strong> \u201cThrough Catalyst Grants, TACA ensures they have the resources and flexibility to lead \u2014 on their terms. Our commitment is clear: empower the institutions that make Dallas a place of inspiration, innovation, and belonging.\u201d<\/p>\n Unlike project-specific grants, Catalyst Grants are intentionally unrestricted, meaning recipients have the flexibility to direct funds where they are needed most, whether to launch bold new programming, retain artistic talent, expand access, or simply stabilize their foundation.<\/p>\n This year’s total brings TACA\u2019s cumulative general operating investment to more than $32 million since the organization\u2019s founding, alongsidethe TACA New Works Fund, Pop-Up Grants and strategic arts-specific professional development programs like the Arts Accelerator and the Amplifier Workshops.<\/p>\n \u201cIn a city that is growing in both size and artistic ambition, these funds are essential infrastructure,\u201d Sheffler said.<\/strong><\/p>\n Generous TACA donors, foundations and sponsors \u2013 both longtime and new \u2013 made the 2025 Catalyst Grants are possible. Continuous support helps create a more resilient cultural sector.<\/p>\n \t\t\t\t\t\t \t\t\t\tPhoto courtesy of Dallas Museum of Art<\/p>\n \t\t\tPhoto courtesy of Dallas Museum of Art<\/p>\n Dallas Museum of Art is a Catalyst Grant recipient.<\/p>\n Some arts organizations have been receiving Catalyst Grants for many years, and the funds have become reliable financial support in unpredictable times.<\/p>\n “Soul Rep Theatre Company has been a beneficiary of TACA Catalyst Grant funding for the last several years. These unrestricted grants have enabled Soul Rep to invest where we’ve needed it most, whether it be overhead costs, administrative salaries, artists’ stipends, or production costs. TACA’s consistent confidence and support have also significantly impacted our steady growth and expanded reach in the community since the pandemic. We see TACA, not as a funder, but as a true partner in our important work,\u201d said Anyika McMillan-Herod, Soul Rep Theatre Company\u2019s Executive Director.<\/p>\n Newer recipients appreciate the investment in their future.<\/p>\n “As a new recipient, Dallas Film Society is honored and grateful to be among the arts organizations in Dallas County to receive vital unrestricted funding through a TACA Catalyst Grant. This grant will empower us to strengthen our year-round film programming with the freedom to apply funds where they are needed most toward our mission of building community through the art of film,\u201d said Beth Wilbins, CEO of Dallas International Film Festival.<\/p>\n \t\t\t\t\t\t \t\t\t\tDallas Chamber Symphony<\/p>\n \t\t\tDallas Chamber Symphony<\/p>\n Dallas Chamber Symphony is a Catalyst Grant recipient.’<\/p>\n TACA\u2019s 2025 Catalyst grantees include the following, listed in alphabetical order:\u00a0\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n Arts Mission Oak Cliff<\/p>\n AT&T Performing Arts Center<\/p>\n Avant Chamber Ballet<\/p>\n Basically Beethoven<\/p>\n Bishop Arts Theatre Center<\/p>\n Bombshell Dance Project<\/p>\n Broadway Dallas<\/p>\n Bruce Wood Dance<\/p>\n Cara M\u00eda Theatre<\/p>\n The Cedars Union<\/p>\n Dallas Chamber Symphony<\/p>\n Dallas Children’s Theater<\/p>\n Dallas Film Society<\/p>\n Dallas Museum of Art<\/p>\n The Dallas Opera<\/p>\n Dallas Symphony Orchestra<\/p>\n Dallas Theater Center<\/p>\n Dallas Winds<\/p>\n Deep Vellum Publishing<\/p>\n Echo Theatre<\/p>\n The Firehouse Theatre<\/p>\n Greater Dallas Choral Society<\/p>\n Greater Dallas Youth Orchestra<\/p>\n Junior Players Guild<\/p>\n Kitchen Dog Theater Company<\/p>\n kNOwBOX Dance<\/p>\n Nasher Sculpture Center<\/p>\n New Texas Symphony Orchestra<\/p>\n Orchestra of New Spain<\/p>\n Orpheus Chamber Singers<\/p>\n OutLoud Dallas<\/p>\n Over the Bridge Arts<\/p>\n Pegasus Contemporary Ballet<\/p>\n Pegasus Media Project<\/p>\n Lone Star Wind Orchestra<\/p>\n Prism Movement Theater<\/p>\n Sammons Center For The Arts<\/p>\n Second Thought Theatre<\/p>\n Shakespeare Dallas<\/p>\n Soul Rep Theatre Company<\/p>\n Teatro Dallas<\/p>\n Texas Ballet Theater<\/p>\n Texas Winds Musical Outreach<\/p>\n Theatre Three<\/p>\n TITAS\/DANCE UNBOUND<\/p>\n Undermain Theatre<\/p>\n Uptown Players<\/p>\n Verdigris Ensemble<\/p>\n The Women’s Chorus of Dallas<\/p>\n The Writer’s Garret<\/p>\n![\"Dallas](\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/dallas-museum-of-art.jpg\")
