Sponsorship of the Arts Grant
Tomorrow is the deadline for accepting applications for the Arts Council’s Sponsorship of the Arts Grant. Below are the guidelines and application.
GENERAL GUIDELINES
  • Active engagement of students is generally preferred to passive engagement.  (Student participation rather than observation)
  • Number of students impacted, and cost per student (grant request divided by number of participants) will be given greatest consideration.
  • In general, funds are not awarded for transportation, food, or t-shirts.
  • New programming will be preferred to underwriting existing programming.  We wish to increase student opportunities, rather than solely reinforce existing programs.
  • Grant funds should be seen as seed or catalyst money not for underwriting of existing programs or for full program funding.
  • In an effort to increase community involvement, the Arts Council wishes to be an underwriter among many rather than a sole underwriter.
  • All grant monies should be deposited by the recipient prior to July 1.

 

SPONSORSHIP GRANTS

  • Grants reviewed once a year, in the fall.  Applications due Oct. 15, Reviewed in November/December, funds allocated Jan. 1.
  • Grant funds available to Vanderburgh county schools and not-for-profits.
  • Intended as partial underwriting for a new or existing (preferably new) programming for k-12 students (not full funding).
  • e.g. making (reduced price) tickets available to students free of charge. Should be coupled with student talkback, supplementary course material, etc.
  • Grants evaluated on quality of programming, number of students impacted, and degree of active/passive engagement of students.
  • Grants generally limited to $7,000 maximum.
