     Although it is not a requirement for grant submission, in order to

 ensure that your organization’s materials have been received, return

 receipt can be requested when delivering via U.S. Mail.  To receive a

 return receipt, materials must be mailed in one of several ways:

• Certified Mail
• Registered Mail
• Express Mail Return Receipt
• Delivery/Signature Confirmation

     Application materials may also be submitted via hand delivery.  Please

 note, GCA will strictly adhere to a cut off time of 4:45 p.m. After that

 time, grant materials will no longer be accepted.

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.
