IAC Major and Mini Grants support arts projects, not operating costs. What’s the difference?
Arts projects have a beginning, middle, and end. Expenses for projects are used up during the course of the project, whether they are payments to artists, or costs for marketing, supplies, etc. Operating costs are the expenses needed for normal operation of a nonprofit organization. These generally include employee salaries, utility costs, office/space rental and leasing, building maintenance, equipment and supplies required for ongoing activities, etc.
