Grant funds support both operating expenses (salaries, rent, technology, etc.) and programmatic expenses supporting day-to-day operations. Operations and programming must be cultural (arts, sciences, or humanities), occur in Lake, Orange, Osceola, or Seminole counties, and be open to the public. Examples include performances, exhibitions, festivals, arts education, and commissioning of new works.
Grant dollars cannot be used for capital expenditures (acquisitions or equipment), building renovation or remodeling, deficit reduction, bad debts, contingencies, fines and penalties, interest payments, litigation costs, contributions to cash reserves or endowment funds, or lobbying.
