This year was characteristically competitive with the City receiving $29,692 in requests in excess of the allocated budget of $124,258. As such, none of the applicants were recommended for the full amount in order to ensure all eligible and successful applications could receive a fair distribution of the available funding. Six organizations who were recommended for funding in 2023 will receive a slight increase in their funding over the previous year with fomieen organizations receiving a slight decrease. The decrease in funding for so many organizations is largely due to the higher competition versus available funds. Additionally, as per the adjudication process noted above, applicants recommended for a higher percentage of requested funding scored higher per the evaluation criteria than those recommended for lower percentages. Overall, 21 out of 22 applicants were recommended for funding. One applicant from the Project Assistance grant stream was not recommended for funding as they did not meet the program's eligibility criteria. Financial Impact The 2023 Arts and Culture Grants budget of $124,258 was approved as part of the City's 2023 Operating Budget. A total of $124,258 in allocations is being recommended for the 2023 Arts and Culture Grants, subject to City Council's approval.
