Guidelines
and applications are now available online for
Fiscal
Year 2015 (FY15) Program Grant,
Grants to
Arts Service Organizations,
and
Partners in Excellence Programs.
The FY15
deadline is 5:00 PM Monday, March 17, 2014.
Program Grant funds provide support to established
not-for-profit organizations that make a significant local, regional, or
statewide impact on the quality of life in Illinois. Grants recognize
arts programming of high quality that is appropriate to and reflective of the
communities served and that broaden opportunities for the public to participate
in the arts. All FY15
grant programs support activities occurring between September 1, 2014 and
August 31, 2015
Follow these links to access the FY15 Program Grant Guidelines and
information regarding the FY15 Grants to Arts Service
Organizations and Partners-in-Excellence programs. Contact the
appropriate Illinois Arts Council Agency
Program Staff member with questions.
IMPORTANT
DETAILS:
- Deadline: The FY15 deadline for the above programs is Monday, March
17, 2014, 5:00 PM CST for online submission of eGrant application and
hand-delivery of required hard copy material.
- Illinois Cultural Data Project requirements for FY15
are as follows:
- Applicants must submit an IACA Funder Report which
contains data for three consecutive fiscal years, one of which must be
2012. All years must have "Review Complete"
status.
- Recently established organizations with less than three
years of financial data must submit an IACA Funder Report with at least
one year of data reflecting the most recently completed fiscal year. For
organizations in operation in fiscal year 2012, data for 2012 must be
submitted. Submitted data must have received "Review Complete"
status from the CDP.
- Colleges and Universities and organizations housed within
a larger institution must limit the CDP information to arts activities in
their division or department.
The IACA Funder Report will
be available to generate in early February 2014. As a reminder, the
process for completing an Illinois Cultural Data Project data profile and
receiving "Review Complete" status can take time. Applicants
should be sure to begin the process early to allow enough time to complete the
steps necessary to achieve "Review Complete" status before the
application deadline. It is highly unlikely for applicants who wait until
the day of the deadline to complete the process to achieve this status.
Applicants
are encouraged to submit an IACA Funder report which shows the three most
recently completed fiscal years for which data is accessible (board-approved
audits or board-approved year-end financial statements).
- Eligibility
Requirements: Prior to the deadline, applicants should check that they
are in compliance with all eligibility requirements including Illinois Not
For Profit and 501c3 status. For details, follow this link.
- Free Application
Workshops: Illinois Arts Council program staff will conduct two online
application workshop webinars to provide information on completing FY15
Program Grant and Grants to Arts Service Organizations applications.
