General Operations Grant
FY08 Deadline: February 13, 2008.
The purpose of the R2AC General Operating Support Grants is to provide some measure of funding stability for arts organizations so that their energy can be better focused on increasing the quality and availability of the arts to their communities.
R2AC General Operating Support Grants are three year awards. If your organization is awarded a grant, it will receive the same award amount each year for three consecutive years, pending R2AC approval of your annual interim report and plan. Your organization must expend the grant funds and submit an annual report and plan by February 1st of each year.
General Operating Support Grants may be requested for up to 10% of the average of your organization's annual revenues for the past three years, not to exceed $6,000 per year for each of three consecutive years. Because this will be a very competitive grants round, approved proposals may be awarded less than the requested amount.
General Operating Support Grants may be requested for general operating expenses that your organization incurs such as rent, utilities, administrative salaries, upkeep or maintenance of your facility, publicity, equipment purchases, programming, etc.
R2AC Operating Support Grants cannot be used toward endowment funds or to cover fund deficiencies incurred prior to the grant request.
General Operating Support Grants are only available to 501(c)3 non-profit arts organizations in Region 2 whose purpose and mission statement are clearly and solely focused on the arts. The five-county Region 2 area includes Beltrami, Clearwater, Hubbard, Lake of the Woods and Mahnomen counties.
