Good to see you as well today, Susan! Glad to hear you were able to find a donor.  Attached are our York Artist Relief Fund grant application and evaluation - we do have a panel that reviews them solely online weekly. We've funded one round and are preparing to fund our 2nd round this week. Grant guidelines here: https://www.culturalyork.org/apply-for-funding/artist-tier-funding/york-artist-relief-fund/


I think one of the biggest lessons we're learning is just how little documentation artists keep on their gigs, especially for our underserved/marginalized artists. We are pretty open on what we consider documentation - emails, facebook messages, screen shots of text messages between the artist and the promoter; we've allowed all of that to help artists apply for the funds. Proof of their loss of income can be difficult for some to provide.


Let me know any questions you might have.

Hi UAF Colleagues,

It was great to see you this afternoon. Thanks to our friends at AFTA for coordinating the call. We just learned that we may have a funder for an individual artist relief fund. Would you be willing to share samples of grant guidelines, applications and review documents? Any lessons learned?

With gratitude,
Susan
