Small Request Funding
Small Request funds for FY17 have been depleted. However, new funds will be available after the city budget for FY18 is approved by city council in September. Proposed events/activities must take place after October 1, and preferably after October 9 when the Commission will consider applications received by the due date.
As a reminder the Small Request application form is available through the Foundant online application system, and it must be submitted no later than two months prior to the project’s start date (i.e., if your project begins on October 13, your application must be received by August 13). Go to http://www.como.gov/arts/funding-opportunities/small-request-funding/ for guidelines and to access the online application form.
