How about some good news for 2020? Round 2 of Creative Economy Recovery Grants opened last week, and we are extending the application deadline to OCTOBER 7, 2020! The new deadline applies to all three reimbursement grants for For Profit Creative Businesses, Individual Artists and Nonprofit organizations. Additionally, we have updated the Nonprofit Reimbursement Grant guidelines to remove the restriction for nonprofits. The City Attorney’s Office has asked us include all nonprofit organizations (i.e., exempt from federal or state taxes).
With a longer application period, that means more time for you to write your best application. We have provided multiple resources for you and will add more Zoom Drop In Sessions and Individual Meetings during the extended time. You’ll find all the information at our website at arts.cityofsacramento.org/
