How much is the Supporting Arts Grant award?
All eligible applicants will receive funding. Grant awards will be proportional to organizational operating expenses and will be calculated based on a combination of operating expenses and available funds. The minimum grant award is $1,000. The maximum grant award will be dependent on available funding and the number of eligible applicants.
How Grant Awards Are Calculated
-
Applicants report three (3) years of operating expenses
-
Applicants are assigned to a category based on average of operating expenses
-
Funds are allocated to each category relative to the percentage that category is to the full applicant pool
- Grant awards are then determined by adjusting a control percentage to remain within the funds allocated to a category
Example:
-
Total number of SAP applicants: 219
-
16 applicants fell within the "Over $1M" category
-
"Over $1M" applicants were 7% of the total applicant pool
-
The "Over $1M" category was allocated 7% of the available funds
