Categories
There are three categories of funding under the Commission’s regrant program.
- Special Project: Funding is for any nonprofit group, regardless of the intent of its charter to sponsor a special arts or history related project. This Special Project funding is intended to allow, for example, a civic organization to present a music program as part of its annual holiday celebration; a social organization to mount an exhibit; or the local YMCA to stage a theatrical performance.
- General Programming Support (GPS): Funding is for any nonprofit group, regardless of the intent of its charter, to offset the expense of presenting major, on-going arts programs. These programs should have their own mission and goals and contain multiple events or activities. These activities could include a series of concerts, history lecture or other multiple events throughout the year and is distinguished from Special Projects by having multiple events rather than a single activity within a calendar year.
- General Operating Support (GOS): This funding is for groups whose charter is primarily arts or history related. It is designed to provide general operating support for groups that increase exposure to art in the community. This would include, but is not limited to: community theater groups, dance companies, not-for-profit museums or galleries, orchestras, and singing groups who exist primarily to create and/or perform art or history projects. General Operating Support funding is more stringent in its requirements and more detail is required in substantiating fiscal responsibility. General Operating Support requests are limited to 20% or less of the previous year’s cash income.
Project Period
January 1, 2025-December31, 2025.
Eligibility Criteria
Arts: Any nonprofit group is eligible, including libraries, civic organizations, Y’s, educational institutions (for non-standard extracurricular funding only), museums, historical groups, festival programs, arts councils and commissions, and creative groups in all disciplines. For the arts regrant, non-arts groups can apply for funding only to support arts-related programs. Any proposal that does not clearly support the arts, no matter how well prepared, will be denied funding. Arts as used in these guidelines include: visual arts (painting, sculpture, drawing, etc.), music, dance, theater, opera/music theater, crafts, media arts, photography, design arts and literature. The Commission is open to other kinds of arts programming, but strongly recommends that you discuss the suitability of your project with the Coordinator of the Commission before beginning work on a proposal.
History: Any nonprofit, government or educational agency with a historic focus within Cumberland County may apply for funding for itself or as the umbrella agency for an historical project that is largely the work of an individual. Work for which support is sought must be in some way related to Cumberland County history.
