About
PA Partners:
Pennsylvania
Partners in the Arts (PA Partners) is a regranting program
of the Pennsylvania Council on the Arts (PCA) and administered
in Allegheny County by the Arts Council. Its goal is to make
arts programs available to every Commonwealth resident, with
a focus on previously underserved communities and regions
in Pennsylvania. PA Partners provides grants of up to $3,000
for arts projects that take place in Allegheny County. All
projects must be publicized and open to the general public,
and must take place between September 1, 2008 and August 31,
2009. The application postmark deadline is June 30, 2008.
The
PCA's goals for PA Partners are to:
- Expand
access to the arts by (a) making programs available to communities
that may have been underserved in the past by state arts
funding, and (b) supporting a wide variety of arts activities
in the community that have been developed in a variety of
local settings
- Encourage
local decision-making in regranting of state arts dollars
- Increase awareness of and advocacy for government support
and funding of the arts at the local and state levels
- Enable
the PCA to provide increased assistance to its broad constituency
throughout the state
Eligible
applicants include:
- Nonprofit arts organizations that have
nonprofit 501(c)(3) status from the Internal Revenue Service
- Emerging arts organizations, including those that have
applied for but have not yet received 501(c)(3) status
- Community-based organizations, entities of local government
and churches/faith-based organizations that present arts
activities to promote artistic enrichment and appreciation
for Allegheny County residents
- Individual artists or consortia of artists who present
arts activities for the purpose of promoting artistic enrichment
and appreciation to residents of Allegheny County communities
