SWEET PEA, A FESTIVAL OF THE ARTS
GRANT APPLICATION

Sweet Pea Festival of the Arts sponsors two types of grants: Performing/Visual Arts and Special Projects.

Sweet Pea grants for Performing/Visual Arts are for specific activities, services, or events of limited duration or for the expansion of ongoing programs.

Sweet Pea Special Projects grants are for specific projects that will contribute visually, aesthetically, or culturally toward the Bozeman area.

Only non-profit groups serving Bozeman and the surrounding area are eligible.

Only one grant per organization and /or artist will be given out in an eligible year.

Grant applications must be submitted to the Grants Committee by April 13, 2017.

The grant request must define a specific need.

1-1 matching funds must be raised for grants of $2,000 or more.

All grant recipients are expected to submit a Sweet Pea Grant Evaluation form and notify Grants Committee of dates of events.

Grant availability is contingent upon the annual fiscal resources of the Sweet Pea Festival of the Arts.

Sweet Pea Grant money may not be used to pay salaries or wages to members of the non-profit group or organizations requesting the grant.

Sweet Pea’s grant award is to be mentioned in all related publicity and acknowledgement on social media by all grant recipients.

*After a grant is awarded to a group or organization, there is a two (2) year moratorium on grants to that group or organization.  The moratorium is based on Festival “Proceed” years.
