Are there limits to how much money a cultural arts organization can receive or how the funds can be used?
Organizations applying for major grants of $5,000 or more may be awarded up to 35% of their total qualifying operating expenses; qualifying expenses include those associated with programs, marketing, royalties and licensing fees, and other operating expenses related to the organization’s primary cultural purpose. Organizations applying for mini grants may be awarded up to $4,999, regardless of their current operating budgets. CARE funds granted to cultural organizations may not be used for capital construction expenses, payments into an endowment fund, expenditures for programs outside of Orem, activities not available to the general public, political lobbying, fundraising expenses related to capital or endowment campaigns, or for other expenses not related to the organization’s primary cultural purpose.
