Office of Cultural Affairs UPDATES...

Small Request Funding.....Next month marks the beginning of the first
quarter of our fiscal year. This means that the Commission on Cultural
Affairs will be evaluating Small Request applications received by
September 10th. Requests may be for up to $500 and must follow the
below-listed guidelines. Contact us for an application form and complete
guidelines, 573-874-6386, oca at GoColumbiaMo.com, or use the online form
at www.GoColumbiaMo.com (Go Word: GoArtsFunding).

●	Funding is limited to one request per project.
●	If a project is funded in the regular funding cycle it is not
eligible for the Small Request category.
●	Multiple projects from the same agency are allowed.
●	Funds are available to agencies with annual budgets of no more
than $500,000 and only to arts agencies.  Collaborations are allowed,
but only with an arts agency with 501-C-3 status as the lead applicant.
●	OCA does not fund capital outlay or perishable items.

Annual Arts Organization Funding.....Sometime in early October, City
Council will authorize contracts with the local arts organizations that
will receive funding through the OCA’s annual process. The contracts
will then have to be processed by the City Clerk and the City Manager
and City Attorney will have to sign them. Contracts will be sent out
immediately after that. Organizations will need to return signed
contracts and any other supporting materials that are requested before
payments can be made. Questions?  Call 573-874-6386 or e-mail
oca at GoColumbiaMo.com.
