FY2016 Community Investment Grant, Festival Grant and Arts Learning Grant Final Report Deadline
Complete a Final Report in the GO system at http://arizona.culturegrants.org. While Final Reports must be submitted no later than Monday, September 12, 2016, the Arts Commission recommends that Final Reports be submitted within 30 days of the completion of the funded activities (for Festival and Arts Learning Grants) or the organization’s Fiscal Year (for Community Investment Grants).
Failure to submit a FY2016 Final Report by the posted deadline will render your organization ineligible to apply for future Arts Commission grants.
All grant-related materials must be received by the Arizona Commission on the Arts by close of the business day on the deadline date. Without exception, organizations that neglect to submit required materials by the published deadlines will forfeit their current grant award and/or be ineligible for future funding.
