Eligibility Criteria
Eligibility extends to private non-profit corporations with a 501(c) designation, organized groups of people working together towards a specific mission or purpose, for-profit businesses or educational institutions producing projects that are non-profit in nature, and tribes or Native non-profit organizations. Applicants are required to have offices or their place of business within Tacoma or, if they have no offices, a majority of their activities must take place within Tacoma city limits. Other eligibility requirements apply.
You are eligible to apply if you answer ‘YES’ to one of these:
- Are you a 501(c) non-profit corporation, incorporated under the laws of Washington State and recognized by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) (i.e. 501(c)(3), 501(c)(4))?
- Are you an organized group of people working together towards a specific mission or purpose, with an organizational bank account? Submissions must come from an organized group, not an individual.
- Are you a for-profit business, with a Federal Tax ID number (EIN), wishing to produce a community arts project that is non-profit in nature? This means that the project is for public benefit rather than for profit and is separate from your regular business functions.
- Are you an educational institution wishing to produce a community arts project that is non-profit in nature?
- Are you a tribe or Native non-profit organization?
