The Murray Arts Advisory Board invites local art organizations and other Murray based agencies interested in implementing art related projects for the 2012-2013 fiscal year to submit applications by January 9, 2012. Please make certain your budget pages are accurately prepared - preferably type written. Make sure you include building rental costs for rehearsals and performances. The Board will review the applications with the following in mind. 1. Must have non-profit 501 status or function as a governmental agency. 2. The organization must be based in Murray. The primary goal of the organization or specific project should serve Murray residents. Benefits to individuals beyond Murray City should be secondary to its primary objectives. (Usually a statewide organization does not qualify. However, a local chapter of a statewide organization would be acceptable.) 3. Grants must be cash matched (1:1) through ticket sales or other forms of revenue. An exception to this requirement may be made where the organization has provided a free concert or service without pay for a Murray City function. An in-kind amount (maximum of $500 for each service) may be listed as a match for this situation. 4. Grantee shall give credit to Murray City and the Murray Arts Advisory Board. 5. Must be non-denominational and services open to the general public. 6. Grantee is required to have one board member or administrator who has been trained in non-profit management during the past three years. 7. Grants may not be used to pay off debts and can be no more than 50% of an organizations budget (grants are generally 25% of the budget or less) 8. Projects should occur between July 1, 2012 and June 30, 2013. Funding Recommendations are Based On: 1. The artistic merit of the project. 2. The stability of the organization including sound business management and ability to achieve its objectives including the success or failure of previous programs. 3.
