DESCRIPTION:Lifelong Arts Engagement Grants support projects that foster me
aningful arts learning experiences for adult learners of any age and/or in
tergenerational projects in community settings.\n\nWhat does it fund?\nLif
elong Arts Engagement Grants support projects that…\n\nfocus on learners a
cross the aging spectrum\,\noccur in accessible community spaces\, and\nce
nter arts learning practices.\n\nSuch projects should also…\n\nprovide opp
ortunities for creative expression in safe and nurturing environments\, an
d\nutilize the assets of the community being served.\n\nProjects may take
place in…\n\narts venues\,\ncommunity or senior centers\,\nresidential fac
ilities\, and\nother settings that serve adult learners of any age and/or
intergenerational projects.\n\n\nDownload/Print the Grant Guidelines\nDesc
arga los Lineamientos\n\nArts learning projects feature sequential\, hands
-on learning through the arts to develop artistic skills\, processes and c
reativity. Artistic and/or cultural discipline(s) may include\, but are no
t limited to dance\, literary arts\, media arts\, music\, theatre\, tradit
ional and folk arts\, and visual arts. Arts learning projects include spec
ific objectives\, outcomes and methods of evaluation that are well defined
and relevant for the learners involved.\nAward Amount\nOrganizations can
request $2\,500 to $5\,000.\nThere is no cash match required for this gran
t opportunity.\n Who’s it for? \nEligibl
e applicants for Lifelong Arts Engagement Grants include:\n\nArizona nonpr
ofit organizations* with tax-exempt status\nunits of government\n\nSee FAQ
#1 in the FAQ section below for more information on eligible organization
s.\n*An unincorporated organization without tax-exempt status\, may apply
with a nonprofit fiscal sponsor.\nApplication Limits\nAn organization may
submit only one application per fiscal year.\nAcross grant programs\, the
Arts Commission limits the number of applications that may be submitted by
a given organization or unit of government to one (1) application per fun
ding period (July 1 – June 30 of the following year). While an organizatio
n or unit of government may be eligible for more than one grant program\,
they may only apply for one of them in a given funding period. (See FAQ #6
below for more information)\nAdditional Considerations for Teaching Artis
t\nIndividual teaching artists or arts organizations may be listed as part
ners on a maximum of three (3) funded arts learning grant applications (bo
th Lifelong Arts Engagement and Youth Arts Engagement) in a given fiscal y
ear. If the number of applications on which a given individual teaching ar
tist or arts organization is listed as a partner exceeds the total number
that may be funded for that fiscal year\, they will be asked to advise the
Arts Commission on which application(s) will be withdrawn from considerat
ion. The Arts Commission requests that prospective applicants consider thi
s restriction before applying.\nTeaching artists are encouraged to seek ou
t partnerships with eligible organizations or units of government. The ent
ity you partner with will then serve as the direct applicant. When buildin
g a partnership with an organization\, \, or unit of government\, make sur
e they are not applying to the Lifelong Arts Engagement Grant for a differ
ent project or to another grant program through the Arizona Commission on
the Arts.\n Eligible Expenses
\nGrant funds may be used for any of the following (this list is not com
prehensive):\n\nartist\, consultant\, and other fees\nadministrative costs
related to the project\nmaterials or supplies\nin-state travel costs tech
nology\ndocumentation\nevaluation\n\nGrant funds cannot be used for any pr
ojects\, or days of a project\, that take place before the start of the fi
scal year (July 1\, 2024). If your full project timeline starts before or
ends after the funding period\, you are still eligible to apply and should
articulate the full timeline in your application\, but should only reques
t and use grant funds for project activities taking place within the fundi
ng period.\n Grant Timeline
\n\nFunds are delivered approximately 6-8 weeks after all necessary paperw
ork has been submitted by the grantee. This includes the award agreement\,
state W-9 and payment form.\n Before You Apply
\nApplicants are encouraged to do the following prior
to beginning their application:\nRequest Accommodations\nIf you require ac
commodation in completing the application\, or otherwise participating in
the grant application process\, please contact the Director of Arts Learni
ng\, Elisa Radcliffe\, by phone at (602) 771-6528 or by email at eradcliff
e@azarts.gov.\nPrepare Narrative Responses\nYou can type your proposal nar
rative or you can upload audio recordings of your responses. For each narr
ative question you will find a maximum word count (not character) and a ma
ximum recording length. If you share your proposal narrative via audio rec
ordings\, keep it simple and to the point. Don’t worry about impressing th
e panelists with your recording technique\, just make sure we can hear and
understand you. All audio files must be uploaded as MP3 files (.mp3).\nSo
me applicants find it helpful to develop their responses using word proces
sing software\, outside the application platform. This allows them to draf
t responses with team members and monitor their word counts for each quest
ion. A Word document version of the narrative questions can be downloaded
at https://azarts.gov/grant/lifetime-arts-engagment/.\nCreate or Update th
e SurveyMonkey Apply Account for Your Organization\nYou will submit your a
pplication through an online submission platform called SurveyMonkey Apply
. Prior to applying\, all new applicants will need to register their organ
ization at https://azarts.smapply.io/.\nIf your organization already has a
n account\, we encourage you to confirm that all information is up to date
and add/remove any team members as needed.\nFor instructions on how to cr
eate or update your account\, visit our applicant resources page: https://
azarts.gov/grants/applicant-resources/.\n How to ap
ply \nWhen you’re ready\, click/tap the “Apply Now”
button below. You do not have to complete the application in one session\
; at any point you can save a draft of your application and complete or su
bmit it later.\nAPPLY NOW\n The Application

\n\nThis list is not comprehensive.\nAdditionally\, according to the Arts

s from the Arizona Commission on the Arts may be spent for payment to any
person or entity for use in desecrating\, casting contempt on\, mutilating
\, defacing\, defiling\, burning\, trampling or otherwise dishonoring or c
ausing to bring dishonor on religious objects\, the flag of the United Sta
tes or the flag of this state.” Recipients of Arts Commission support are
further instructed to “take into consideration general standards of decenc
y and respect for the diverse beliefs and values of the American public” w
ithin funded programs.\n Frequently Asked Questions
\n\nWhat types of organizations can apply for Life
long Arts Engagement Grants?\nEligible organizations include: adult day ce
nters\, assisted living facilities\, arts and cultural organizations\, com
munity-based service organizations\, libraries\, neighborhood centers\, pa
rks and recreation departments\, retirement communities\, rehabilitation c
enters\, social service organizations\, university/college departments and
more. An organization without tax-exempt status\, may apply with a nonpro
fit fiscal sponsor.\nWhat is asset-based vs. deficit-based language? How c
an we address inequalities in our narrative? \nAsset-based language focuse
s on the unique attributes the participants bring to the project (passiona
te\, capable\, thriving) as opposed to deficit-based language that define
people and places by perceived insufficiencies (like at risk\, lacking\, m
arginalized\, underserved). Deficit-based language reinforces negative ste
reotypes and is not conducive to the type of arts learning this grant prog
ram seeks to support. It also contributes to a dynamic where learners are
not seen as partners\, but as objects of charity. If you’re talking about
a problem\, use language that reflects that systematic disparities and com
munity wide problems in fact have systemic causes\, that these are not sel
f-caused problems\, and explicitly describe those systems whenever possibl
e.\nAre field trips or strictly performance-based projects eligible for th
is grant?\nNo. While a field trip or culminating performance may be a part
of the project\, it should not be the primary focus. This grant supports
programs that seek to activate participant voices\, narratives\, and persp
ectives. It is important to articulate how a community of learners has a v
oice and agency in the development and implementation of the project. This
grant values active participation over exposure or passive engagement.\nC
an my organization apply for a Lifelong Arts Engagement Grant and a Youth
Arts Engagement Grant? \nNo. Though an organization may be eligible for mo
re than one arts learning grant program\, the Arts Commission limits the n
umber of applications which may be submitted by an applicant to one arts l
earning grant program within the same funding period. An applicant who app
lies to the Youth Arts Engagement Grant program in Fiscal Year 2024 may no
t apply for a Lifelong Arts Engagement Grant that same year.\nI’m an arts
organization\, am I eligible to apply directly and serve as a partner in a
nother project?\nYes. As outlined above\, as a direct applicant an arts or
ganization may only receive one Lifelong Arts Engagement grant per fiscal
year. Those arts organization may still serve as a partner in a different
project\, but all applications\, including the one submitted directly\, co
unt toward the total partner limit of 3 arts learning applications (both L
ifelong Arts Engagement and Youth Arts Engagement) per fiscal year. This i
s to address the competitive nature of this grant program.\nMy organizatio
n is eligible for other Arts Commission grants. Can I apply to those?\nNo.
Across grant programs\, the Arts Commission limits the number of applicat
ions that may be submitted by a given organization or unit of government t
o one (1) application per funding period (July 1 – June 30 of the followin
g year). While an organization or unit of government may be eligible for m
ore than one grant program\, they may only apply for one of them in a give
n funding period. As an example\, an applicant who applies to the Creative
Capacity Grant program or the Festivals Grant program in Fiscal Year 2024
may not apply for a Lifelong Arts Engagement Grant that same year.\n\n

Engagement Grants support projects that foster meaningful arts learning e
xperiences for adult learners of any age and/or intergenerational projects
in community settings.
\n

ts that…
\n
\n- focus on learners across the aging spectrum\,
\n- occur in accessible community spaces\, and
\n- center arts lea
rning practices.
\n
\n
Such projects should also…

/li>\n
\n
Projects may take place in…
\n
\n- arts venues\,
li>\n
- community or senior centers\,
\n- residential facilities\,
and
\n- other settings that serve adult learners of any age and/or i
ntergenerational projects.
\n
\n
\n
Arts learning
projects feature sequential\, hands-on learning through the arts to develo
p artistic skills\, processes and creativity. Artistic and/or cultural dis
cipline(s) may include\, but are not limited to dance\, literary arts\, me
dia arts\, music\, theatre\, traditional and folk arts\, and visual arts.

Eligible applicants for Lifelong Arts Engageme
nt Grants include:
\n
\n- Arizona nonprofit organizations* with ta
x-exempt status
\n- units of government
\n
\n
See FAQ #1 i
n the FAQ section below for more information on eligible organizations.
\n
*An unincorporated organization without tax-exempt status\, may appl
y with a nonprofit fiscal sponsor.
\n
Application Limits
\n
An
organization may submit only one application per fiscal year.
\n
Acr
oss grant programs\, the Arts Commission limits the number of applications
that may be submitted by a given organization or unit of government to on
e (1) application per funding period (July 1 – June 30 of the following ye
ar). While an organization or unit of government may be eligible for more
than one grant program\, they may only apply for one of them in a given fu
nding period. (See FAQ #6 below for more information)
\n
Additional
Considerations for Teaching Artist
\n
Individual teaching artists or
arts organizations may be listed as partners on a maximum of three (3) fu
nded arts learning grant applications (both Lifelong Arts Engagement and Y
outh Arts Engagement) in a given fiscal year. If the number of application
s on which a given individual teaching artist or arts organization is list
ed as a partner exceeds the total number that may be funded for that fisca
l year\, they will be asked to advise the Arts Commission on which applica
tion(s) will be withdrawn from consideration. The Arts Commission requests
that prospective applicants consider this restriction before applying.
\n
Teaching artists are encouraged to seek out partnerships with eligib
le organizations or units of government. The entity you partner with will
then serve as the direct applicant. When building a partnership with an or
ganization\, \, or unit of government\, make sure they are not applying to
the Lifelong Arts Engagement Grant for a different project or to another
grant program through the Arizona Commission on the Arts.

of Arts Commission support are further instructed to “take into considera
tion general standards of decency and respect for the diverse beliefs and
values of the American public” within funded programs.
\n
\n
\n- What types of organizations can apply for Lifelo
ng Arts Engagement Grants?
\nEligible organizations include:
adult day centers\, assisted living facilities\, arts and cultural organi
zations\, community-based service organizations\, libraries\, neighborhood
centers\, parks and recreation departments\, retirement communities\, reh
abilitation centers\, social service organizations\, university/college de
partments and more. An organization without tax-exempt status\, may apply
with a nonprofit fiscal sponsor. \n- What is asset-based vs.
deficit-based language? How can we address inequalities in our narrative?
\nAsset-based language focuses on the unique attributes th
e participants bring to the project (passionate\, capable\, thriving) as o
pposed to deficit-based language that define people and places by perceive
d insufficiencies (like at risk\, lacking\, marginalized\, underserved). D
eficit-based language reinforces negative stereotypes and is not conducive
to the type of arts learning this grant program seeks to support. It also
contributes to a dynamic where learners are not seen as partners\, but as
objects of charity. If you’re talking about a problem\, use language that
reflects that systematic disparities and community wide problems in fact
have systemic causes\, that these are not self-caused problems\, and expli
citly describe those systems whenever possible. \n- Are fiel
d trips or strictly performance-based projects eligible for this grant?
\nNo. While a field trip or culminating performance may be a p
art of the project\, it should not be the primary focus. This grant suppor
ts programs that seek to activate participant voices\, narratives\, and pe
rspectives. It is important to articulate how a community of learners has
a voice and agency in the development and implementation of the project. T
his grant values active participation over exposure or passive engagement.
\n- Can my organization apply for a Lifelong Arts Engagemen
t Grant and a Youth Arts Engagement Grant?
\nNo. Though an
organization may be eligible for more than one arts learning grant program
\, the Arts Commission limits the number of applications which may be subm
itted by an applicant to one arts learning grant program within the same f
unding period. An applicant who applies to the Youth Arts Engagement Grant
program in Fiscal Year 2024 may not apply for a Lifelong Arts Engagement
Grant that same year. \n- I’m an arts organization\, am I el
igible to apply directly and serve as a partner in another project?
\nYes. As outlined above\, as a direct applicant an arts organizat
ion may only receive one Lifelong Arts Engagement grant per fiscal year. T
hose arts organization may still serve as a partner in a different project
\, but all applications\, including the one submitted directly\, count tow
ard the total partner limit of 3 arts learning applications (both Lifelong
Arts Engagement and Youth Arts Engagement) per fiscal year. This is to ad
dress the competitive nature of this grant program. \n- My o
rganization is eligible for other Arts Commission grants. Can I apply to t
hose?
\nNo. Across grant programs\, the Arts Commission limi
ts the number of applications that may be submitted by a given organizatio
n or unit of government to one (1) application per funding period (July 1
– June 30 of the following year). While an organization or unit of governm
ent may be eligible for more than one grant program\, they may only apply
for one of them in a given funding period. As an example\, an applicant wh
o applies to the Creative Capacity Grant program or the Festivals Grant pr
ogram in Fiscal Year 2024 may not apply for a Lifelong Arts Engagement Gra
nt that same year. \n

DESCRIPTION:Youth Arts Engagement Grants support arts learning projects for
young people that occur outside of traditional school hours.\n\nWhat does
it fund?\nYouth Arts Engagement Grants support projects that…\n\nfocus on
young people\, ages 24 and under\,\noccur outside of traditional school h
ours (before/after school and/or during school holidays/breaks)\, and\ncen
ter arts learning practices.\n\nSuch projects should also…\n\nprovide oppo
rtunities for creative expression in safe and nurturing environments\,\nho
nor youth voices\, narratives\, and perspectives\, and\nutilize the assets
of the community being served.\n\nProjects may take place in…\n\narts ven
ues\,\ncommunity centers\,\nschool sites\, and\nother youth-oriented setti
ngs.\n\n\nDownload the Grant Guidelines\n\nArts learning projects feature
sequential\, hands-on learning through the arts to develop artistic skills
\, processes and creativity. Artistic and/or cultural discipline(s) may in
clude\, but are not limited to dance\, literary arts\, media arts\, music\
, theatre\, traditional and folk arts\, and visual arts. Arts learning pro
jects include specific objectives\, outcomes and methods of evaluation tha
t are well defined and relevant for the learners involved.\nAward Amount\n
Organizations can request $2\,500 to $5\,000. \nThere is no cash match req
uired for this grant opportunity.\n Who’s it for?
\nEligible applicants for Youth Arts Engagement Grants include:
\n\nArizona nonprofit organizations* with tax-exempt status\nschools/schoo
l districts\nunits of government\n\nSee FAQ #1 in the FAQ section below fo
r more information on eligible organizations.\n*An unincorporated organiza
tion without tax-exempt status may apply through a nonprofit fiscal sponso
r.\nApplication Limits\nAn organization may submit only one application pe
r fiscal year.\nAcross grant programs\, the Arts Commission limits the num
ber of applications that may be submitted by a given organization or unit
of government to one (1) application per funding period (July 1 – June 30
of the following year). While an organization or unit of government may be
eligible for more than one grant program\, they may only apply for one of
them in a given funding period. (See FAQ #8 below for more information.)
\nAdditional Considerations for Teaching Artist\nIndividual teaching artis
ts or arts organizations may be listed as partners on a maximum of three (
3) funded arts learning grant applications (both Lifelong Arts Engagement
and Youth Arts Engagement) in a given fiscal year. If the number of applic
ations on which a given individual teaching artist or arts organization is
listed as a partner in a single funding cycle exceeds the total number th
at may be funded for that fiscal year\, they will be asked to advise the A
rts Commission on which application(s) will be withdrawn from consideratio
n. The Arts Commission requests that prospective applicants consider this
restriction before applying.\nTeaching artists are encouraged to seek out
partnerships with eligible organizations\, schools\, or units of governmen
t. The entity you partner with will then serve as the direct applicant. Wh
en building a partnership with an organization\, school\, or unit of gover
nment\, make sure they are not applying to the Youth Arts Engagement Grant
for a different project or to another grant program through the Arizona C
ommission on the Arts.\n Eligible Expenses
\nGrant funds may be used for any of the following (this l
ist is not comprehensive):\n\nartist\, consultant\, and other fees\nadmini
strative costs related to the project\nmaterials or supplies\nin-state tra
vel costs technology\ndocumentation\nevaluation\n\nGrant funds cannot be u
sed for any projects\, or days of a project\, that take place before the s
tart date of the fiscal year (July 1\, 2024). If your full project timelin
e starts before or ends after the funding period\, you are still eligible
to apply and should articulate the full timeline in your application\, but
should only request and use grant funds for project activities taking pla
ce within the funding period.\n Grant Timeline
\n\nFunds are delivered approximately 6-8 weeks after a
ll necessary paperwork has been submitted by the grantee. This includes th
e award agreement\, state W-9 and payment form.\n B
efore You Apply \nApplicants are encouraged to do t
he following prior to beginning their application:\nRequest Accommodations

email at eradcliffe@azarts.gov.\nPrepare Narrative Responses\nYou can typ
e your proposal narrative or you can upload audio recordings of your respo
nses. For each narrative question you will find a maximum word count (not
character) and a maximum recording length. If you share your proposal narr
ative via audio recordings\, keep it simple and to the point. Don’t worry
about impressing the panelists with your recording technique\, just make s
ure we can hear and understand you. All audio files must be uploaded as MP
3 files (.mp3).\nSome applicants find it helpful to develop their response
s using word processing software\, outside the application platform. This

unts for each question. A Word document version of the narrative questions
can be downloaded here.\nCreate or Update the SurveyMonkey Apply Account

\, libraries\, neighborhood centers\, parks and recreation departments\, s
ocial service organizations\, university/ college departments\, PreK-12 sc

nal school hours.\nAn organization without tax-exempt status\, may apply t
hrough a nonprofit fiscal sponsor.\nWhat is asset-based vs. deficit-based
language? How can we address various inequalities in our narrative? \nAsse
t-based language focuses on the unique attributes the participants bring t
o the project (passionate\, capable\, thriving) as opposed to deficit-base
d language that define people and places by perceived insufficiencies (lik
e at risk\, lacking\, marginalized\, underserved). Let’s not define people
and places by their deficits. This reinforces negative stereotypes and is
not conducive to the type of arts learning this grant program seeks to su
pport. Deficit-based language also contributes to a dynamic where learners
are not seen as partners\, but as objects of charity. If you’re talking a
bout a problem\, use language that reflects that systematic disparities an
d community wide problems in fact have systemic causes\, that these are no
t self-caused problems\, and explicitly describe those systems whenever po
ssible.\nAre field trips or strictly performance-based projects eligible f
or this grant?\nNo. While a field trip or culminating performance may be a
part of the project\, it should not be the primary focus. This grant prog
ram supports arts programs that seek to activate youth voices\, narratives
\, and perspectives. It is important to articulate how a community of lear
ners has a voice and agency in the development and implementation of the p
roject. This grant values active participation over exposure or passive en
gagement.\nCan a school district and a school within that district both ap
ply?\nAn individual school and a school district may each submit separate
applications\, but they must be for completely distinct and separate proje
cts and be for projects that occur outside of traditional school hours.\nW
hen should I contact my district about applying for this grant?\nWe recomm
end contacting the Grant Department or Fiscal Office at your district 2-3
months prior to the grant deadline.\nCan my organization apply for both a
Youth Arts Engagement Grant and a Lifelong Arts Engagement Grant? \nNo. Th
ough an organization may be eligible for more than one arts learning grant
program\, the Arts Commission limits the number of applications which may
be submitted by an applicant to one arts learning grant program within th
e same funding period. An applicant who applies to the Lifelong Arts Engag
ement Grant program in Fiscal Year 2024 may not apply for a Youth Arts Eng
agement Grant that same year.\n\n \nApplicant Resources\n

\n
Eligible applicants for Youth Arts
Engagement Grants include:
\n
\n- Arizona nonprofit organizations*
with tax-exempt status
\n- schools/school districts
\n- units
of government
\n
\n
See FAQ #1 in the FAQ section below for mor
e information on eligible organizations.
\n
*An unincorporated organi
zation without tax-exempt status may apply through a nonprofit fiscal spon
sor.
\n
Application Limits
\n
An organization may submit only
one application per fiscal year.
\n
Across grant programs\, the Arts
Commission limits the number of applications that may be submitted by a gi
ven organization or unit of government to one (1) application per funding
period (July 1 – June 30 of the following year). While an organization or
unit of government may be eligible for more than one grant program\, they
may only apply for one of them in a given funding period. (See FAQ #8 belo
w for more information.)
\n
Additional Considerations for Teaching A
rtist
\n
Individual teaching artists or arts organizations may be li
sted as partners on a maximum of three (3) funded arts learning grant appl
ications (both Lifelong Arts Engagement and Youth Arts Engagement) in a gi
ven fiscal year. If the number of applications on which a given individual
teaching artist or arts organization is listed as a partner in a single f
unding cycle exceeds the total number that may be funded for that fiscal y
ear\, they will be asked to advise the Arts Commission on which applicatio
n(s) will be withdrawn from consideration. The Arts Commission requests th
at prospective applicants consider this restriction before applying.
\n
Teaching artists are encouraged to seek out partnerships with eligible
organizations\, schools\, or units of government. The entity you partner w
ith will then serve as the direct applicant. When building a partnership w
ith an organization\, school\, or unit of government\, make sure they are
not applying to the Youth Arts Engagement Grant for a different project or
to another grant program through the Arizona Commission on the Arts.
\n
\n
Grant funds may be used for any of the following (this
list is not comprehensive):
\n
\n- artist\, consultant\, and other
fees
\n- administrative costs related to the project
\n- mate
rials or supplies
\n- in-state travel costs technology
\n- doc
umentation
\n- evaluation
\n
\n
Grant funds cannot be used
for any projects\, or days of a project\, that take place before the star
t date of the fiscal year (July 1\, 2024). If your full project timeline s
tarts before or ends after the funding period\, you are still eligible to
apply and should articulate the full timeline in your application\, but sh
ould only request and use grant funds for project activities taking place
within the funding period.
\n
\n
\n
Funds are delivered approximately 6-8 weeks
after all necessary paperwork has been submitted by the grantee. This inc
ludes the award agreement\, state W-9 and payment form.

\n
Eligible applicat
ions are then evaluated by independent review panels made up of arts learn
ing specialists from communities throughout the state. They evaluate each
application on its own merits and solely on the basis of the published eva
luation criteria.
\n
Panelists first review applications individually
. They then meet as a body to discuss the applications and finalize assess
ment as a group. This meeting is open to the public and while applicants a
re not permitted to participate in the discussion\, they are encouraged to
attend or listen-in online. Applicants being reviewed will be notified wh
en panel dates are set. At the conclusion of their deliberations\, the pan
el submits their funding recommendations to the Arts Commission’s Governor
-appointed board of commissioners for approval.

Th
is program does not fund the following:

\n- Food and beverages for any purpose.
\n- Fundraising projects.

Additionally\, according to the Arts Commission’s enabling sta
tutes\, “Notwithstanding any other law\, no monies from the Arizona Commis

div class='panel-body'>\n
\n- What types of organizations can
apply for Youth Arts Engagement Grants?
\nEligible organiza
tions include arts and cultural organizations\, community-based service or
ganizations\, libraries\, neighborhood centers\, parks and recreation depa
rtments\, social service organizations\, university/ college departments\,
PreK-12 schools or school districts who serve youth 24 and under outside
of traditional school hours.
\nAn organization without tax-exempt sta
tus\, may apply through a nonprofit fiscal sponsor. \n- What
is asset-based vs. deficit-based language? How can we address various ine
qualities in our narrative?
\nAsset-based language focuses
on the unique attributes the participants bring to the project (passionate
\, capable\, thriving) as opposed to deficit-based language that define pe
ople and places by perceived insufficiencies (like at risk\, lacking\, mar
ginalized\, underserved). Let’s not define people and places by their defi
cits. This reinforces negative stereotypes and is not conducive to the typ
e of arts learning this grant program seeks to support. Deficit-based lang
uage also contributes to a dynamic where learners are not seen as partners
\, but as objects of charity. If you’re talking about a problem\, use lang
uage that reflects that systematic disparities and community wide problems
in fact have systemic causes\, that these are not self-caused problems\,
and explicitly describe those systems whenever possible. \n- Are field trips or strictly performance-based projects eligible for this
grant?
\nNo. While a field trip or culminating performance m
ay be a part of the project\, it should not be the primary focus. This gra
nt program supports arts programs that seek to activate youth voices\, nar
ratives\, and perspectives. It is important to articulate how a community
of learners has a voice and agency in the development and implementation o
f the project. This grant values active participation over exposure or pas
sive engagement. \n- Can a school district and a school with
in that district both apply?
\nAn individual school and a sc
hool district may each submit separate applications\, but they must be for
completely distinct and separate projects and be for projects that occur
outside of traditional school hours. \n- When should I conta
ct my district about applying for this grant?
\nWe recommend
contacting the Grant Department or Fiscal Office at your district 2-3 mon
ths prior to the grant deadline. \n- Can my organization app
ly for both a Youth Arts Engagement Grant and a Lifelong Arts Engagement G
rant?
\nNo. Though an organization may be eligible for more
than one arts learning grant program\, the Arts Commission limits the num
ber of applications which may be submitted by an applicant to one arts lea
rning grant program within the same funding period. An applicant who appli
es to the Lifelong Arts Engagement Grant program in Fiscal Year 2024 may n
ot apply for a Youth Arts Engagement Grant that same year. \n

n’s total annual revenue minus the monetary value of any in-kind support.
\nAward ranges are determined based on the agency’s budget for the upcomin
g fiscal year\, the Arts Commission’s funding priorities\, and an organiza
tion’s panel review ranking (low\, medium\, or high).\nAs the agency’s bud
get is not known until well after grant guidelines are published\, the amo

d Projections?\nIn 2012\, the Arizona Commission on the Arts was removed f
rom the State’s General Fund as an ongoing budget line-item. Since that ti
me\, the agency’s annual 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 w
ill not be known until the State’s budget is passed by the Legislature and
signed into law by the Governor. This typically happens in late spring.\n
The award ranges listed above are based on a potential grantmaking budget
of $0.5 million. Depending on what happens in the Legislature\, actual awa
rd amounts may be significantly different. Applicants are strongly encoura
ged to budget conservatively.\nFor more info on Arts Commission funding\,
visit https://azarts.gov/about-us/who-we-are/budget/.\n\nMulti-year Fundin
g\nThe CCG program operates on a multi-year funding cycle. Organizations s
ubmit a full application once every three years\, according to the schedul
e below. In their two “alternate” years\, grantees submit only a brief sta
tus update and Funder Report and are not subject to panel review.\nIn cons
ideration of the limited funding projected for FY2025\, all applicants who
received CCG funding in FY2024 will be placed in alternate year status fo
r FY2025. In lieu of a full application\, alternate year applicants submit
only a brief status update and Funder Report and are not subject to panel
review.\n(Applicants who did not receive CCG funding in FY2024 are still
required to submit a full application and undergo panel review.)\nThis is
an adjustment to the previously established multi-year funding cycle\, whi
ch would have required full applications from Level 4 & 5 organizations.\n

by their previous application are required to submit a full application a
nd undergo panel review. Please note that alternate year organizations aut
omatically maintain their previous fiscal year panel review ranking\, but
the corresponding award amount may change if the financial data in their f
orthcoming Fiscal Year 2025 application indicates a lower annual budget th
an previously recorded. If you have questions or concerns about determinin
g your forthcoming grant level\, please contact Hanna Spence-Schehr at hsp
enceschehr@azarts.gov.\nGrantee Requirements\nMatch CCG Award\nGrantees mu
st 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 contributed (e.g.\, p
rivate donations\, other grants\, etc.).\nSubmit a Final Report\nTo remain
eligible for future grants\, grantees must submit a final report to the A
rts Commission at the conclusion of the funding period.\n
Grant Timeline \n\nAwards are paid out over
the course of the Arts Commission’s fiscal year (July 1 – June 30) on a pr
edetermined schedule. Typically\, payments begin with Level 1 grantees in
the second quarter of the agency’s fiscal year (October – December) and en
d with Level 8 grantees receiving payment in the fourth quarter (April – J
une).\n \nLevels 1-5\n Before You Apply

each application on its own merits and solely on the basis of the publish
ed evaluation criteria.\nPanelists first review applications individually.

ent as a group. This meeting is open to the public and while applicants ar
e not permitted to participate in the discussion\, they are encouraged to
attend or listen-in online. Applicants being reviewed will be notified whe

Review Process \nAll applications are subject
to a public review process. First\, Arts Commission staff review each appl
ication for completeness and eligibility. Applications that are incomplete
or submitted after the due date are considered ineligible for panel revie
w and funding. Eligible applications are then evaluated by independent rev
iew panels made up of individuals from communities throughout the state wh
o work in or adjacent to the arts. They evaluate each application on its o
wn merits and solely on the basis of the published evaluation criteria.\nP
anelists first review applications individually. They then meet as a body
to discuss the applications and finalize assessment as a group. This meeti
ng is open to the public and while applicants are not permitted to partici
pate in the discussion\, they are encouraged to attend or listen-in online
. Applicants being reviewed will be notified when panel dates are set. At
the conclusion of their deliberations\, the panel submits their funding re
commendations to the Arts Commission’s Governor-appointed board of commiss
ioners for approval.\n Funding Restrictions
\nGrant funds can only be used for the allowable expenses
outlined in the guidelines. Additionally\, this program does not fund the
following:\n\nApplicants that received Arts Commission funding in fiscal y
ear 2024\, but failed to file a final report by Monday\, September 16\, 20
24.\nOrganizations not dedicated to producing\, presenting\, teaching\, or
serving the arts as their primary mission (the arts must comprise over 51
% of public programming and budget to be eligible)\nAny division of local\
, state\, tribal or federal government except arts and cultural organizati
ons from Tribal Nations and Local Arts Agencies (including arts councils a
nd arts commissions)\nApplications submitted by for-profit organizations\n
Schools\, including public\, private\, and charter\nBotanical gardens\, pa
rks\, zoos or science centers\nAuxiliary/affiliate organizations\nReligiou
s institutions or religious group-sponsored organizations not open to part
icipation by non- congregants\nReligious institutions or religious group-s

unctions\nFundraising projects\nScholarships and awards\nEquipment or capi
tal expenditures (basic computer devices and other such items that cost le
ss than $5\,000 are considered supplies and are eligible expenses)\nIndire
ct costs\n\nThis list is not comprehensive.\nAdditionally\, according to t
he Arts Commission’s enabling statutes\, “Notwithstanding any other law\,
no monies from the Arizona Commission on the Arts may be spent for payment
to any person or entity for use in dese- crating\, casting contempt on\,
mutilating\, defacing\, defiling\, burning\, trampling\, or otherwise dish
onoring or causing to bring dishonor on religious objects\, the flag of th
e United States or the flag of this state.” Recipients of Arts Commission
support are further instructed to “take into consideration general standar
ds of decency and respect for the diverse beliefs and values of the Americ
an public” within funded programs.\n \n Frequently A
sked Questions \n\nMy organization is eligible for
other Arts Commission grants. Can I apply to those too?\nNo. Across grant
programs\, the Arts Commission limits the number of applications that may
be submitted by a given organization or unit of government to one (1) appl
ication per funding period (July 1 – June 30 of the following year). While
an organization or unit of government may be eligible for more than one g
rant program\, they may only apply for one of them in a given funding peri
od. As an example\, an applicant who applies to the Capacity Grant program
in FY2025 may not apply for a Festival Grant or a Youth Arts Engagement G
rant that same year.\nHow do I generate a DataArts Funder Report?\nIn orde
r to generate a DataArts Funder Report\, organizations enter financial and
programmatic data into the Cultural Data Profile (CDP)\, a free and secur
e online survey. In an effort to make data entry easier for arts and cultu
ral organizations\, the CDP was significantly streamlined in December 2020
. You can find resources on preparing your data for entry at https://cultu
raldata.org/what-we-do/for-arts-cultural-organizations/the-cultural-data-p
rofile/. And you can find an overview of how to run or produce a Funder Re
port at https://culturaldata.secure.force.com/Resources/articles/Article/H
ow-do-I-run-a-Funder-Report/.\nDoes this grant fund or focus on new projec
ts or new work?\nNo. The production or generation of new projects is not a
requirement of the CCG program. CCG provides unrestricted general operati
ng support\, meaning that organizations may use CCG funds for many differe
nt types of operating expenses. However\, there are some expenses which ca
nnot be funded with public dollars\; please be sure to check the funding r
estrictions list before determining how you will apply the grant funds.\nI

organization’s name in the white bar on the left side of the screen) selec
t Programs” from the ribbon at the top of the screen. Scroll to Creative C
apacity Grant and select ”Apply”.\nWhat is Asset Vs. Deficit Language and
why is it important?\nHow can we address various inequalities in our narra
tive? Asset-based language focuses on the unique attributes the participan
ts bring to the project (passionate\, capable\, thriving) as opposed to de
ficit-based language that define people and places by perceived insufficie
ncies (like at risk\, lacking\, marginalized\, underserved). Let’s not def
ine people and places by their deficits. This reinforces negative stereoty
pes and is not conducive to the type of arts learning this grant program s
eeks to support. Deficit-based language also contributes to a dynamic wher
e learners are not seen as partners\, but as objects of charity. If you’re
talking about a problem\, use language that reflects that systematic disp
arities and community wide problems in fact have systemic causes\, that th
ese are not self caused problems\, and explicitly describe those systems w
henever possible.\n\nFor additional applicant resources please visit https

All applications are subje
ct to a public review process. First\, Arts Commission staff review each a
pplication for completeness and eligibility. Applications that are incompl
ete or submitted after the due date are considered ineligible for panel re
view and funding. Eligible applications are then evaluated by independent
review panels made up of individuals from communities throughout the state
who work in or adjacent to the arts. They evaluate each application on it
s own merits and solely on the basis of the published evaluation criteria.
\n
Panelists first review applications individually. They then meet
as a body to discuss the applications and finalize assessment as a group.
This meeting is open to the public and while applicants are not permitted
to participate in the discussion\, they are encouraged to attend or listen
-in online. Applicants being reviewed will be notified when panel dates ar
e set. At the conclusion of their deliberations\, the panel submits their
funding recommendations to the Arts Commission’s Governor-appointed board
of commissioners for approval.

Additional
ly\, according to the Arts Commission’s enabling statutes\, “Notwithstandi
ng any other law\, no monies from the Arizona Commission on the Arts may b
e spent for payment to any person or entity for use in dese- crating\, cas
ting contempt on\, mutilating\, defacing\, defiling\, burning\, trampling\
, or otherwise dishonoring or causing to bring dishonor on religious objec
ts\, the flag of the United States or the flag of this state.” Recipients
of Arts Commission support are further instructed to “take into considerat
ion general standards of decency and respect for the diverse beliefs and v
alues of the American public” within funded programs.
\n
\n \n
\n-
My organization is eligible for other Arts Commission grants. Can
I apply to those too?
\nNo. Across grant programs\, the Arts
Commission limits the number of applications that may be submitted by a g
iven organization or unit of government to one (1) application per funding
period (July 1 – June 30 of the following year). While an organization or
unit of government may be eligible for more than one grant program\, they
may only apply for one of them in a given funding period. As an example\,
an applicant who applies to the Capacity Grant program in FY2025 may not
apply for a Festival Grant or a Youth Arts Engagement Grant that same year
. \n- How do I generate a DataArts Funder Report?\nIn order to generate a DataArts Funder Report\, organizations enter
financial and programmatic data into the Cultural Data Profile (CDP)\, a f
ree and secure online survey. In an effort to make data entry easier for a
rts and cultural organizations\, the CDP was significantly streamlined in
December 2020. You can find resources on preparing your data for entry at
https://culturaldata.org/what-we-do/for-art
s-cultural-organizations/the-cultural-data-profile/. And you can find
an overview of how to run or produce a Funder Report at https://culturaldata.secure.force.com/Resources/articles/Arti
cle/How-do-I-run-a-Funder-Report/.
\n- Does this grant f
und or focus on new projects or new work?
\nNo. The producti
on or generation of new projects is not a requirement of the CCG program.
CCG provides unrestricted general operating support\, meaning that organiz
ations may use CCG funds for many different types of operating expenses. H
owever\, there are some expenses which cannot be funded with public dollar
s\; please be sure to check the funding restrictions list before determini
ng how you will apply the grant funds. \n- If I requested Pa
nel Comments for our FY24 Application\, where do I find them?To v
iew your requested Panel Comments\, log into your azarts.smapply.io accoun
t and select your organization’s FY24 application. In the application view
\, select the “Reviews” tab and then click the icon that looks like the on
e below.
\n \n- Okay
\, I’ve made an organizational account\, how do I start my application?From your organization’s home page (indicated by your organization’s
name in the white bar on the left side of the screen) select Programs” fr
om the ribbon at the top of the screen. Scroll to Creative Capacity Grant
and select ”Apply”.
\n- What is Asset Vs. Deficit Language a
nd why is it important?
\nHow can we address various inequal
ities in our narrative? Asset-based language focuses on the unique attribu
tes the participants bring to the project (passionate\, capable\, thriving
) as opposed to deficit-based language that define people and places by pe
rceived insufficiencies (like at risk\, lacking\, marginalized\, underserv
ed). Let’s not define people and places by their deficits. This reinforces
negative stereotypes and is not conducive to the type of arts learning th
is grant program seeks to support. Deficit-based language also contributes
to a dynamic where learners are not seen as partners\, but as objects of
charity. If you’re talking about a problem\, use language that reflects th
at systematic disparities and community wide problems in fact have systemi
c causes\, that these are not self caused problems\, and explicitly descri
be those systems whenever possible. \n
