Requirements of the Let Creativity Happen Grants
- Artists who work in an artistic capacity with nonprofit organizations, such as artistic directors, executive directors, lead artists, resident artists, and conductors, may only apply for programming that is completely independent of their organization.
- For collaborative work, one artist must serve as the lead applicant for the program. Contracts and fees will be paid directly to the lead applicant. Collaborators should be equally committed to working together and should have a partnership agreement defining the rights and responsibilities for ownership, fees, and intellectual property of the work. Hiring artists or creatives does not constitute a collaboration.
Eligibility Criteria
- Organizations or fiscal sponsors must be tax-exempt under the Internal Revenue Code Section 501(c)(3), as verified by the IRS Tax Exemption Organization Search.
- An individual applicant must be at least 18 years old, which will be verified by the applicant’s submission of an official state-issued identification card, passport, or other official document.
- Applicants’ scopes of work must have a clear public presentation component, verified by staff review of the application.
- Applicants may submit only one application for each individual grant program. In other words, applicants cannot send multiple applications to the same grant program. — Applicants cannot use the same project proposal to apply to more than one grant program. Applicants should decide which grant program best aligns with their project goals and apply to that specific program.
- If your project is awarded, that specific project cannot be funded again. Sequential projects or a series of related projects, with unique attributes, features, or iterations, are eligible provided that subsequent applications do not replicate the content or objectives of previous submissions.
- Applicants may not receive more than one City’s Initiative grant in a calendar year.
