FY24 Local Priorities
In addition to the state criteria, applications will be evaluated using the following review criteria:
– applicants must secure a venue and submit a WRITTEN COMMITTMENT of location with the online application.
– for FY 24 grants, the program must take place within the 2024 calendar year
– we give priority to programs that will benefit many residents rather than a few
– we give priority to artists, performers and presenters from our community who meet the state and local guidelines
– we may choose to partially fund many projects rather than fully fund a few
– we may choose to limit the number of applications that may be funded to one individual/group depending on the amount of our allocation for each cycle
According to our community input, we will give priority to programs in the following order of preference:
* programs that are geared to families
* programs that are geared to senior citizens
* programs that are presented as concerts, lectures or artistic cultural events
FY24 Local Guidelines
*Applicants are responsible for arranging the DATE, TIME, PLACE, and PUBLICITY for their program.
For FY24 grants, the program must take place within the 2024 calendar year, January 1st to December 31st.
*Any school or organization submitting multiple requests for funding must prioritize their projects otherwise the DCC will prioritize according to our judgment.
