A final report for the FAFO Community Art Grant will be sent to FAFO within 60 days following the activity. The format of the report may vary according to the activity. FAFO will provide the format of the required report. Failure to provide the post activity report will make the recipient ineligible for future grants.

The committee will evaluate each application and recommend funding based on both the available funds from FAFO and the community impact of the application. In some cases, follow-up questions will be asked, or an interview will be needed to help the committee understand the application. If approved by the committee, the grant request will be presented to the FAFO board for final funding approval. (Note: Not all projects will be approved by the committee for funding).
Community Arts funding is subject to the availability of funds from FAFO. All applicants will receive award notifications and feedback via email. Successful applicants will receive funding in accordance with the applicant’s budget for the project.
