   SPECIAL ARTS GRANTS
   Application Guidelines

Due to economic uncertainties, at the current time the Foundation plans to make more limited grants for timely, core needs of arts organizations. Proposals for new programs or expansion activities will not be accepted, unless they are vital to the organization’s health. The main priority for the near future will be mid-sized arts organizations.

Periodically grants which exceed the scope of the Small Grants Program are made to groups with budgets greater than $750,000. The project must clearly demonstrate potential for broad and long-term impact on the local community and the art form involved. This might involve: facility access or use, community-wide program initiatives, or exceptional artistic projects. Not eligible are capital campaigns over $1 million and endowment campaigns. Grants normally do not exceed $25,000.

Applicants to the Special Arts Grants category should sumit the application form and required attachments: project budget, organizational budget, last year's financial statement, board list with affiliations, and brief supporting materials.

To apply, contact the Foundation’s Executive Director well in advance of the two annual application deadlines -- January 15 and July 15 – to approve submission of a grant proposal. This contact can be made by phone or email.

As of the July 15, 2009 application deadline, the Fleishhacker Foundation will require applicants to submit financial information through the California Cultural Data Project. Organizations should contact the CCDP at www.caculturaldata.org to register and complete their informational profiles, or call 866 9-CAL-CDP.
