Responses to Questions Regarding the Request
for Proposals
Last
Update: December
18, 2007
Please
provide a list of the agencies currently
funded through the Community Development,
Cultural/Arts Organizational Support and
Community Arts Grants Programs.
Follow the links
to listings of
2007-2010 Community Development Grantees
(Human Services Division), and
Cultural Affairs Division Grantees.
Does the
applicant need to be a nonprofit? Can
the lead applicant partner with for-profit
agencies?
All applicants
must be nonprofit agencies. Agencies
wishing to use the services of a for-profit
agency may hire the agency to provide
services related to the proposed project,
but all applicants (lead and partner) must
be nonprofit agencies.
What is the
expected end-date of the project?
At this
time, there is no specified completion
date for the project. However, the
project timeline should reasonably
reflect the fact that this is one-time
funding and should contain an
anticipated date of completion for the
creation of the marketing campaign.
If the
applicant is a collaborative of
agencies, how do we describe the "Board
of Directors"?
The lead
agency, which must be a nonprofit
agency, should describe their own Board
of Directors in the appropriate section.
The lead agency is the "applicant".
The Boards of Directors of other
collaborating agencies may be described
as well, if desired.
Does the
match funding have to be cash or is it
acceptable to use staff time as in-kind
contributions?
Match
resources may include new in-kind
goods or professional services
designated specifically for this project
(e.g. printing services, graphic design
hours, tape stock). Staff time may be
used if it is specifically newly
allocated to this marketing/outreach
project.
If I use
cash to meet my match requirement, does
my agency need to have the full match
amount available at the time of
application?
Projected match
resources are acceptable and should be shown
in the Projected Amount/Value column in
Section III of the Project Budget.
Applicants will be expected to find new
sources of match should these projected
resources not become available.
