1 Creative Arts Industries Commission 1000 S.W. Jackson St., Suite 100 Topeka, KS Phone: (785) Fax: (785) TTY: 711 KansasCommerce.com/CreativeArtsIndustries Pat George, Secretary Peter Jasso, Director Sam Brownback, Governor PURPOSE Creative Economy Project Support The Creative Economy Project Support program provides funding to help communities and organizations complete initiatives addressing a wide variety of goals and objectives. Projects may be funded at the planning and/or implementation stage. This highly competitive consortium program supports initiatives that encourage dynamic partnerships between public, private, and cultural sectors that create jobs, increase revenue, promote economic development, revitalize communities, and draw cultural tourists. Creative Economy Project initiatives must leverage the assets of the creative sector that are intrinsic in Kansas communities to improve a community s economic conditions, generate real income and enhance the quality of life. Applications will be considered from communities/regions with a strong commitment to inter-sector collaboration that seeks to strengthen the creative assets of their community. The Kansas Creative Arts Industries Commission is offering this major grant program to activate the concept that Kansas s quality of place is as an economic asset. The Creative Economy Project Support program is designed to function locally to meaningfully support dialogue and partnership between local public, private, and cultural sectors regarding the economic development of their communities. The Creative Economy Project Support program will provide the cultural sector with significant funds to contribute to mutually agreed upon plans and initiatives that stimulate the local economy, strengthen the role of arts and culture, and enhance the community s quality of place. Successful applications will come from communities that have active cultural nonprofits. The communities themselves must be poised for growth and engaged in economic and community planning as well as development using other funding sources. They will include an active network of involved citizens including youth, elected leaders and business leaders in a comprehensive revitalization effort. The nonprofit arts organizations are expected to plan and oversee project direction, management and implementation side by side with their partners and community. It is anticipated that the Creative Economy Project Support project will have a designated part-time coordinator to communicate with the public, partners, artists and others involved with the project. This coordinator should be seen as a member of the community equally adept at relating to the governance, economic and artistic sectors of the community. The coordinator will function as a liaison between the partners involved in the project. Funds may be used to support a single activity or a suite of related activities that are not already supported through a current KCAIC program. Applicants must demonstrate excellent artistic, educational and cultural value; responsiveness to their community; credible planning and evaluation strategies; and rigorous financial and managerial accountability. Fulfillment of these attributes ensures that funded projects make significant contributions to their communities health and vitality in significant ways.
2 PROGRAM GOALS Through the Creative Economy Project Support program the KCAIC will support partnerships that can develop long-term sustainable impact by: Aiding in the revitalization of neighborhoods and communities Improving the infrastructure and viability of the creative industries Stimulating increased participation and engagement in cultural and creative activities by residents and visitors Creative Economy Projects must have: A systematic approach to culture and economic development with a persuasive vision for change A strong collaborative network of partners from cultural, economic, and governmental sectors Clearly defined economic goals and objectives An action plan aligned with the project vision and economic goals A funding plan that is appropriate, feasible, indicates strong community support and includes a well-conceived long-term sustainability strategy Creative Economy Project Grants will be awarded to projects that: Maximize the economic impact of the creative industry in a community or region. Raise awareness of local cultural products and stimulate increased participation and engagement by residents and visitors Position a community or region as a unique cultural destination to attract new visitors and their spending Build a solid, sustainable infrastructure of arts and cultural organizations and events as a component of a community s or region s economic development efforts Improve a community s or region s quality of life through resulting arts and cultural events The program will not fund: Projects that are part of a single organization's usual, ongoing activities Projects that do not involve a partnership of at least three organizations willing to invest time and effort in the project's outcomes Activities of very limited duration that are not directly tied to long-term community economic development goals Projects where arts and cultural activity are not at the center of the project's plan Capacity building initiatives for artists that are not integral to a broader economic development strategy Short-term employment or education projects for youth Print materials, web design or other media items General operations, including the staff time of any of the organizations involved Costs of applying for assistance Fundraising Professional development Costs incurred before the date the grant is approved Capital projects and purchase of equipment that are not integral to a broader economic development strategy and directly related and essential to proposed project activities.
3 Creative Economy Project funds may be used for a wide variety of project expenses. Organizations may choose to dedicate funds to creative or administrative costs. Other allowable expenses include research, marketing, program planning, outside fees, production and evaluation. Creative Economy Project grants must be used to support long-term economic or community development initiatives through the arts and may be awarded to projects at the planning and/or implementation stage: Projects in the planning stage should identify, study or improve economic or community development objectives, including planning processes, research, data collection, consultant services or other activities necessary to inform the design of projects that will support the cultural component of the Creative Economy and drive economic development. Planning stage projects should support processes that investigate, identify, and refine creative community economic development objectives prior to implementation. The most competitive applications will be ones that are uniquely tailored to a particular community, industry or circumstance, offer new insights into the creative economy, and are the most innovative in approach. Grants awarded to projects in the planning stage may fund the direct expenses connected to project planning including: Preliminary beneficiary/audience evaluation Planning consultants fees and services, including meeting facilitation Data collection necessary to inform the plan's outcomes Meetings with advisors, project partners, and representatives of target audiences or other groups Travel to sites, or to other resources And other costs associated with the planning process Projects in the implementation stage need not have received a grant at the planning stage, although funded implementation projects will show evidence of thorough planning and clearly defined goals and objectives. KEY DATES Initial Application Deadline: April 8 Full Application Deadline (upon initial qualification): May 15 Project Phase Start Date: after June 30, 2013 Project Phase Completion Date: before June 30, 2014 Projects may include broad multi-year initiatives that include several phases. The Project Phase Start and Completion Dates above refer to the phase of activities eligible for a KCAIC funding request and define the granting period when awarded KCAIC funds must be expended. Related project activities may occur beyond the granting period. While you may present information about a broader initiative, be very specific about the phase(s) of your project that are included in your request for funding (e.g., funding is being requested for 'Phase B' of 'Phases A,B, & C' activity). Grant Awards
4 Creative Economy Project applicants may request up to $75,000. Grant award amounts are highly competitive and will generally be funded at a high percentage of the requested amount depending on the availability of KCAIC funds. An applicant must demonstrate a fiscal structure that allows them to legally and responsibly utilize grant funds. All Project Support grants require a 1:1 match. Eighty percent of the match must be in cash and 20 percent may be in-kind support. For applicants from underserved populations/regions, up to 50 percent of the match may be in-kind support. This demonstrates the applicant s ability to undertake the project. Funded applicants must document all in-kind donations needed for their match when they complete their final report at the conclusion of the grant period. Organizations are eligible to apply for only one Project Support grant per fiscal year. The KCAIC defines underserved as applicants from or serving rural, low income, or minority populations. ELIGIBILITY REQUIREMENTS All Creative Economy Project applications must come from dynamic partnerships among at least three stakeholder groups that are prepared to lead the project over time. The project must include at least one partner each from the private (for-profit businesses), public (local government), and cultural (nonprofit arts and cultural organizations) sector. Other partners may include: nonprofit organizations, for-profit businesses, educational institutions and state and federal agencies. For clarification, the primary or lead partner must serve as the applicant and main project contact for the KCAIC and have fiscal responsibility for the grant. A partnering organization is involved in making decisions about the future direction of the project on a regular and ongoing basis. An applicant meets the requirements of this grant program if they are: 1. A creative arts and cultural sector organization that: Is a nonprofit organization, legally established in the state of Kansas Has tax exempt status 501(c)(3) from the Internal Revenue Service Promotes, presents, produces and/or teaches visual, performing, literary, media or traditional arts as its primary purpose 2. A public sector entity such as a local or county government The development of a relationship among stakeholders prepared to invest time and effort into the project is a fundamental component. Each organization is expected to make a significant contribution to the project. All applicants must have completed and filed all final reports required for previous KCAIC grants. The applicant becomes legally accountable for complying with the above eligibility requirements upon submission of this request. REVIEW PROCESS Initial applications are reviewed by the Kansas Creative Arts Industries Commission Board.
