GRANT GUIDELINES FOR AMERICAN RESCUE PLAN ACT (ARPA) ARTS & CULTURAL NONPROFIT RECOVERY PROGRAM
INTRODUCTION
Nonprofit arts and cultural organizations are a key element of the creative economy in Sacramento County and key drivers of educational, economic, and community benefit. The City of Sacramento has set aside $2 million in American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) Reinvestment Funds with the County of Sacramento providing a match of $2 million in ARPA funds, to support a recovery grant program for arts and cultural nonprofits in Sacramento County.
After two previous rounds of funding, the City is allocating $250,000 for a final round of grants to be awarded to eligible organizations that have not received non-profit recovery funds from the Office of Arts & Culture. The application process, selection of grantees, and disbursement of funding will be overseen by the Office of Arts & Culture.
ABOUT THE ARPA ARTS & CULTURAL NONPROFIT RECOVERY PROGRAM
The primary objectives of the Arts & Cultural Nonprofit Recovery Program are to:
· Retain nonprofits that are core to the creative economy in the region.
· Retain and expand employment opportunities at these nonprofits.
· Ensure ongoing access to arts and cultural programming throughout Sacramento County.
Grants can be used for operating expenses such as salaries and benefits for employees, fees for artists and contractors, mortgage/rent, utilities, insurance, and marketing. Fees and expenses associated with executing required COVID-protocols are also eligible.
