💡 Tips for applicants
- Emphasize your organization's existing track record with folk and traditional artists or cultural communities. Show regional or statewide partnerships.
- Develop a clear regranting plan showing how you'll identify, support, and manage funds for individual artists and small organizations.
- Demonstrate knowledge of California's diverse cultural communities. Plan authentic engagement strategies with trusted culture bearers.
- Build strong adjudication processes that include individuals with expertise in specific cultural traditions being supported.
- Plan for ongoing technical assistance and capacity building, not just one-time grants to artists.
⚠️ Common mistakes
Applications fail when AOs lack demonstrated capacity for statewide reach or regional partnerships. Weak regranting plans that don't address artist accessibility or community engagement lose points. Applicants underestimate the technical assistance and capacity-building work required beyond grant administration.
