Does an organization need to have 501(c)(3) tax-exempt status to apply to the Small Arts Organization Grant Program?
Applicant organizations must be nonprofit in nature. This means that the organization uses its income to support its operations (including personnel expenses). The income is not used for the benefit or private gain of stockholders, directors, or other individuals who have an interest in the organization. The mission of the organization must be consistent with this principle. Applicant organizations are considered to be nonprofit if they are one or more of the following: 501(c)(3) tax-exempt organization, Ohio nonprofit corporation, nonprofit in intent. Documentation of nonprofit status is required with the application for funding. [NOTE: GRANT PROGRAMS FOR ARTS ORGANIZATIONS ARE NOT CURRENTLY BEING OFFERED.] Call 513-352-4985 for more information.
