Susan, thank you for sharing. Are these grants in addition to your campaign, or does the resilience fund take the place of your campaign?

Subject: [Americans for the Arts] Grant-making materials for Resilience Funds

 

Dear UAF Colleagues,

Arts United is exploring a 12-18 month Resilience Fund for arts and culture organizations in partnership with a consortium of 7 local philanthropic leaders in Fort Wayne. The drafted "straw man" case for support we developed in April and May to share with these philanthropic leaders is attached. Now, as we (hopefully) make this plan actionable in partnership with others, we've been asked to develop a quarterly needs assessment and grant distribution process. 

1. Do you have a longer term resilience grant program beyond immediate relief grants?

2. Are you willing to share your grant guidelines and review process?

Here's another good example to share: Indianapolis Arts Council announced their $10 million Resilience and Restart Grant Program last week in partnership with the Lilly Endowment, and their grant guidelines are on their website here.

Thanks for your help!

Best,

Susan
