Dear Colleagues,
The July 31 deadline for the
Performing Arts Readiness (PAR) project’s emergency planning grants is rapidly approaching. The goal of this program is to offer resources to assist performing arts organizations with emergency planning and
contribute to their sustainability during crises. Please feel free to share the below offering with organizations that you think would benefit from grants supporting the creation of institutional emergency plans.
This PAR program offers grants of up to $7250 for 42 performing arts organizations for the creation of individual institutional emergency preparedness or Continuity of Operations
(CoOP) plans:
- Application Deadlines – submit by July 31, 2020 for projects beginning between September 15 and November 1, 2020. If funding remains available,
a second round of Planning Grants is expected to be offered in 2021.
- Length of Project – Projects must be completed in 10-12 months.
- Grant funds may be used for such things as consultant fees, meeting expenses, travel, and training; $1250 of the award amount can be utilized
on disaster-related supplies and equipment.
- Sample institutional emergency plans created as part of the PAR project are
here.
- Previous recipients of PAR planning grants are not eligible.
Complete guidelines and the Emergency Preparedness Planning Grant application form are downloadable
