Applicants must submit their annual organization or department specific budget with these application proposals. Agencies, organizations, or groups located in and serving Region 7E, meeting any one of the following three conditions are eligible to apply for grants:
- A public agency or organization such as a local unit of government, school, or tribal government. Arts budgets must be isolated from the larger entity’s budget and the group must have an advisory committee for the proposed project.
- A Minnesota private, non-profit organization which has obtained a 501(c)3 tax-exempt status under the Internal Revenue Code and is registered with the Minnesota Secretary of State and Department of Revenue. If located outside of Region 7E, the project should be located in and must benefit the Region, and the applicant should include their list of Region 7E Advisory members with their board member details.
- A local group or organization that does not meet the above requirements but applies through a fiscal sponsor that does qualify. It is the responsibility of the group to find a fiscal sponsor and enter into an agreement with them. Your group must have its own board of directors or advisory committee that provides input on the project and oversight of the grant funds.
