The one that comes to mind is the NEA (National Endowment for the Arts) that offer grants.

Here is the link, and I believe there are qualification guidelines and deadlines that have to be met, but it is always worth the try.

The worst that they can say is 'no'. It maybe worth the time to just apply. Good luck.

Definitely check out your local Council on the Arts. Most states' Arts Councils give grants for capital improvements or salaries. We always plan one 'big' production that would require more funding than we have available and apply for a subsidizing grant. We've only been denied once in 13 years.
