1. Do you receive public funds from local or state sources?

2. Do you count public funds as part of your annual campaign?

3. What are the sources of your public funds (i.e. Food & Beverage Tax, Local Sales Tax, etc.)

4. What are the uses of your public funds (i.e. Public Art, grantmaking, facilities management, etc.)

5. What percentage of your total budget are from public funds?

 

Feel free to add questions.

$95,000 in City of Fort Wayne funds comes from CEDIT (economic development income tax).
