ARTS IN ACTION GRANT APPLICATION INTRODUCTION
The Oliver Arts Council (OCAC) is a Registered Charity and it is bound by CRA requirements concerning the transfer of money to other organizations and all applications for events must be in accordance with the charity’s own constitutional mandate. All programs or events supported by the OCAC must bear an acknowledgement. This includes any advertising and print materials. In the absence of these, a verbal statement should be given at the event. Successful applicants will receive the OCAC Quail Logo to accompany acknowledgement: “We gratefully acknowledge the financial support of the Oliver Community Arts Council.”
Complete Part 1 and submit it to the OCAC a minimum of 2 calendar months before your event date. We cannot guarantee approval of late applications or applications less than two months from the event date. A budget must accompany the application and must include both revenue and expenses, with a projected net profit or loss. If you are seeking funding from multiple sources, these must be disclosed on your application. Usually, funds are supplied as a reimbursement after the event is completed and Part 2 of the application has been received. The Board may, in cases of need, make available up to 50% of the requested funds in advance of the event. If required, please explain your financial circumstances, and make that request on your application. You will be notified of the Board’s resolution following its next monthly Board meeting.
“Art in Action Grant Application” Part 2 must be completed to confirm the event took place in accordance with the OCAC purposes. Submit Part 2 to the OCAC Treasurer as soon as the event has taken place and when you have your final income statement. Please ensure copies of receipts are attached as well as copies of any material that demonstrates the event took place and has acknowledged the OCAC. If the event is delayed, you must let us know. Funds may be applied up to a year after the application is received.
