CATEGORIES;LANGUAGE=en-US:Agency\,Individual Artist CONTACT: DESCRIPTION:Through the State Partnership Grant\, the National Endowment for the Arts provides state arts agencies with support for stable\, profe ssionally-directed programs that are responsive to a state’s diverse folk and traditional arts heritage. Since 2014\, the Arizona Commission on the Arts has partnered with the Southwest Folklife Alliance (SFA) to serve as the state’s official folk arts partner.
\nSFA is the fi rst dedicated folklife organization along the US-Mexico border corridor fo cused solely on uplifting\, supporting\, and presenting the work of tradit ional artists year-round. Their mission is to build more equitable and vib rant communities by celebrating the everyday expressions of culture\, heri tage and diversity in the Greater Southwest.
\nThese awards provide direct support for master traditi onal artists living in Arizona to pass on art\, culture\, and heritage pra ctices to apprentice learners through the annual SFA Master-Apprentice Awa rd. The award is made possible in part by the National Endowment for the A rts and Arizona Commission on the Arts.
\nThe Master-Apprentice Arti st supports a master artist or tradition bearer to work with a qualified a pprentice (or group of apprentices) to engage in a teaching-learning relat ionship that includes one-on-one mentorship and hands-on experience. Our h ighest priority is to support apprentices to learn from master artists wit hin their own cultural traditions. Funds can be used to help cover artist fees\, offset costs of raw materials\, and support any travel essential to the exchange. Traditional artists & culture bearers receive a $5\,000\; a pprentices receive $500.
\nVisit the SFA website for more inform ation.

Organizations that ma y apply for Creative Capacity Grants\, Levels 1-5…
\n< ul>\n*Unincorporated organizations that are otherwise eligible and whose annua l budget is below $200\,000 may apply through a nonprofit fiscal sponsor.< /p>\n
Organizations that may apply for Creative Capac ity Grants at levels 6 – 8…
\nMultidisciplinary or multipurpose organizations are eligible to apply if they meet the above requirements and can demonstrate that over 51% of their public programming and budget is devoted to the arts. Multidisciplin ary or multipurpose organizations should contact Arts Commission staff to discuss eligibility before applying.
\nAcross grant programs\, the Arizona Commission on the Arts limits the numb er of applications an organization may submit to one application per fundi ng period. Organizations applying for a CCG in Fiscal Year 2025 may not ap ply for any other Arts Commission grants (e.g.\, Festival Grants\, Youth A rts Engagement Grants\, etc.).
\nCCG funds are intended to support general day-to-day operating costs\, such as the f ollowing:
\nSalaries and Personnel Expenses
\nCreative workers (e.g.\, artists\, tradition bearers\, designers\, educat ors\, curators\, program administrators\, service providers\, etc.)\, prod uction staff\, administrators\, teachers\, contractors\, consultants
\nArtistic/Production Expenses
\nSupplies\, materi als\, equipment\, venues\, royalties\, licensing
\nAdministr ative Expenses
\nOffice space and supplies\, insurance\, pr ofessional services like accounting or payroll\, fees for banking\, online services and platforms\, training and education\, marketing and promotion
\n
Organizations apply for CCGs at one of ei ght grant levels. An organization’s grant level is determined by the adjus ted annual revenue for their most recently completed fiscal year (for exam ple\, Fiscal Year 2023). For the purposes of this program\, Adjust ed annual revenue is defined as the organization’s total annual r evenue minus the monetary value of any in-kind support.
\nAw ard ranges are determined based on the agency’s budget for the up coming fiscal year\, the Arts Commission’s funding priorities\, and an org anization’s panel review ranking (low\, medium\, or high) .
\nAs the agency’s budget is not known until well after grant guide lines are published\, the amounts below are only projections of what may p otentially be possible.
\nAward projections for FY2025 are as follow s:
\ntd>\n | \n Adjusted Annual Revenue \n | \n
\n Award Projections | \n||
\n Low \n | \n\n Medium \n | \n\n High \n | \n||

In 201 2\, the Arizona Commission on the Arts was removed from the State’s Genera l Fund as an ongoing budget line-item. Since that time\, the agency’s annu al grantmaking budget has been especially volatile\, dependent on one-time legislative appropriations\, which have ranged from $0 – $5 million. The agency’s grantmaking capacity for Fiscal Year 2025 will not be known until the State’s budget is passed by the Legislature and signed into law by th e Governor. This typically happens in late spring.
\nThe awa rd ranges listed above are based on a potential grantmaking budget of $0.5 million. Depending on what happens in the Legislature\, actual award amou nts may be significantly different. Applicants are strongly encouraged to budget conservatively.
\nFor more info on Arts Commission f unding\, visit ht tps://azarts.gov/about-us/who-we-are/budget/.
\nThe CCG program operates on a multi-year f unding cycle. Organizations submit a full application once every three yea rs\, according to the schedule below. In their two “alternate” years\, gra ntees submit only a brief status update and Funder Report and are not subj ect to panel review.
\nIn consideration of the limited funding proje cted for FY2025\, all applicants who received CCG funding in FY2024 will b e placed in alternate year status for FY2025. In lieu of a full applicatio n\, alternate year applicants submit only a brief status update and Funder Report and are not subject to panel review.
\n(Applicants who did n ot receive CCG funding in FY2024 are still required to submit a full appli cation and undergo panel review.)
\nThis is an adjustment to the pre viously established multi-year funding cycle\, which would have required f ull applications from Level 4 & 5 organizations.
\nGrant Level< /td>\n | |||

For FY2025 funding\, Organizations will submi t a full or alternate year application according to the table below:
\nFull Application
\nAlternate Year Applicati on
\nChanging Grant Level
\nOrganizations that are scheduled to submit an Alternate Year
application and would like to be considered at a higher grant level than i
ndicated by their previous application are required to submit a full appli
cation and undergo panel review. Please note that alternate year organizat
ions automatically maintain their previous fiscal year panel review rankin
g\, but the corresponding award amount may change if the financial data in
their forthcoming Fiscal Year 2025 application indicates a lower annual b
udget than previously recorded. If you have questions or concerns about de
termining your forthcoming grant level\, please contact Hanna Spence-Scheh
r at hspenceschehr@azarts.gov.
Match CCG Award
\nGrantees must be able to match their CCG award with cash\, dollar for dollar\, by the end of the funding period (June 30\, 2025). Matching funds may be earned (e.g.\, ticket sales\, participation fees\, etc.) or c ontributed (e.g.\, private donations\, other grants\, etc.).
\nTo remain eligible for future gr ants\, grantees must submit a final report to the Arts Commission at the c onclusion of the funding period.
\n
Awards are paid out over the course of t he Arts Commission’s fiscal year (July 1 – June 30) on a predetermined sch edule. Typically\, payments begin with Level 1 grantees in the second quar ter of the agency’s fiscal year (October – December) and end with Level 8 grantees receiving payment in the fourth quarter (April – June).
