Grant Form and Checklist

     Be certain that the correct form and checklist, specific to the grant for which you are applying, has been completed and submitted. For example, if your organization is submitting an application for General Operating Support, do not submit the form for Community Arts Programs  and Services. 

ADA Checklist

     The GCA ADA Checklist must accompany every grant application, but only in the first year of a three-year continuation cycle for GOS and CAPS and never for the Traditional Arts Apprenticeship Grant or Arts Education Grants. This form includes not only access issues, but also programming for persons with disabilities. If the applicant’s programming is to be offered at multiple venues, an ADA Checklist must be completed for each venue. If an applicant organization is renting a facility owned/managed by a known GCA Contractor, only the Arts

 Programming section of the checklist must be completed.
