FY13 Grant Guidelines Ready
GCA Grant Guidelines for fiscal year 2013 are now available for review and download. Applications for funding will be accepted for Operating Support and Project Grants. Applications for inclusion in the Georgia Council for the Arts Touring Artists Roster will also be accepted for adjudication. There are four general eligibility requirements that must be met in order to apply for funding:•Applicant organizations must be incorporated in the state of Georgia. Organizations with incorporation that is "pending" or "in process" are not eligible.
•Applicant organizations must also be incorporated as a tax-exempt nonprofit or unit of government
•Nonprofit status must have been established and the organization operational for a minimum of one year (twelve consecutive months).
•Grant awards are provided to organizations, not individuals.
Be sure to take the time to review the Guidelines completely. GCA Grants Manager Tina Lilly advises printing the documents and reading them thoroughly before entering any data. “There have been changes to the funding programs,” she said. “It’s important to ask questions and have a good understanding of those changes far in advance of the deadline.”
All applications must be submitted electronically via the e-GRANT SYSTEM, no later than January 25, 2012.
