Funding Information
- Applicants may apply for a maximum of $10,000.
- One (1) granting period will take place each fiscal year (July 1 through June 15) and projects must take place in this time frame.
Who Can Apply?
- Organizations must have a 501 (c) 3 Federal tax-exempt status. The applicant need not have a mission that is primarily cultural or artistic. If a not-for-profit organization does not yet have a 501 (c) 3 status, and wishes to apply to Projects Pool, it must secure as fiscal agent another organization with this status.
- Organizations must have been active one year prior to making an application and be governed by a representative board which is not self-perpetuating.
- Colleges, universities, community colleges and technical institutes may apply if the project will be community based, will generate area-wide cultural involvement, and will not be an internal program.
- Schools may apply for funds for innovative arts education projects.
- Organizations outside of Catawba County may apply if the proposed project takes place in Catawba County.
- Individual artists are not eligible to apply to Projects Pool. Grantees may contract with individual artists whose services fall within the scope of the project.
- Priority for funding is first given to qualified arts, science and history organizations including theaters, symphonies, galleries, art guilds, choral societies, dance companies, folk arts societies, writers groups, and arts festivals, among others. The second priority is for arts learning and arts-in-education programs conducted by qualified artists. The third priority includes community, civic, and municipal organizations that provide quality programs and experiences conducted by qualified artists for the greater community.
