A
One
of
our
presenters
will
be
a
few
minutes
late,
but
we're
going
to
go
ahead
and
get
started,
so
we
want
to
be
respectful
of
your
time
today.
So
my
name
is
charlotte
lamb
and
I'm
in
the
city
manager's
office.
I'm
this
effort,
and
just
you
know
some
what's
gonna
happen
today.
First,
we're
gonna.
Do
a
quick
introduction
to
the
arts
and
culture
work
that
the
city
is
doing
as
well
as
this
grant
and
then
they'll
be
open-ended
q,
a
at
the
end
of
the
presentation.
A
A
So
this
is
a
really
quick
recap
of
how
all
this
came
to
be
with
the
city
of
charlotte.
So
in
january
of
2021,
mayor
lyles
created
an
ad
hoc
committee
of
city
council
members
with
the
task
of
developing
policy
parts
and
culture,
and
in
june
they
recommended
an
advisory
board
and
city
council
approved
that,
and
so
the
arts
and
culture
advisory
board
was
established
in
july
of
2021.
A
The
infusion
fund
came
to
be,
and
that
was
when
the
city
increased
its
annual
investment
in
arts
and
culture
to
six
million
per
year
and
foundations
of
the
carolinas
led
a
fundraising
campaign
to
match
funding
that
the
city
had
committed
to
for
a
three-year
period.
So
we've
got
how
the
board
came
to
be
and
then
how
the
funding
came
to
be
right
there.
A
A
Three
were
tapped
by
the
mayor:
six
by
city,
council
and
nine
by
the
private
sector,
and
this
board
will
work
with
the
arts
and
culture
officer
and
the
community
to
allocate
the
funding
that
we've
got.
So
with
that.
It's
determining
the
allocation
for
the
remaining
fy
2022
budget,
which
we've
done
and
is
where
this
grant
came
from.
It's
determining
the
allocation
for
fiscal
year,
2023
and
2024,
and
as
well
as
developing
a
comprehensive
cultural
plan
for
the
city.
A
As
you
can
see,
there
are
800
000
for
general
operating
or
unrestricted
grants,
and
half
of
that
is
this
grant
program
right
here
and
the
other
half
is
being
administered
by
the
arts
and
science
council
to
artists
and
creatives.
So
when
we
get
to
the
faq
today,
there's
a
lot
of
questions
about
eligibility,
and
some
of
these
might
be
better
served
through
the
program
that
arts
and
science
council
will
be
administering
later
in
the
spring.
A
So
deadlines
on
monday,
we
will
have
an
update,
faq
section
that
will
reflect
everything
that
we
hear
today
and
the
presentation
will
be
made
available
and
then
on.
The
23rd
at
5.
00
pm
is
where,
if
you
ask
questions
after
that,
we're
not
going
to
be
able
to
respond
to
them
prior
to
the
closing
of
the
application
window.
A
At
least
it
won't
be
reflected
in
the
faq
section,
we'll
try
to
send
out
emails
at
the
ninth
hour,
but
it
won't
be
reflected
on
that
faq
section
page
and
on
march
24
at
11
59
pm
the
applications
are
due
and
this
is
a
program
that
automatically
closes.
So
we
don't
have
a
lot
of
wiggle
room
with
that.
A
A
Eligibility
so
right
now,
non-profit
organizations
with
501
c
3
status,
whose
primary
function
is
for
arts
and
culture
are
eligible,
also
groups
or
collectives
of
artists
or
creatives
whose
primary
function
is.
Arts
and
culture
are
also
eligible,
but
this
group,
if
they
don't
have
501c3
status,
we'll
need
to
use
a
fiscal
agent
or
fiscal
sponsor
that
does
in
order
to
receive
funds,
and
these
applicants
need
to
provide
a
memo
from
their
fiscal
agent
or
sponsor
showing
proof
of
this
relationship.
A
Along
with
the
information
of
from
that
fiscal
sponsors.
501C3
letter
applicants
also
must
have
not
received
other
funding
through
the
infusion
fund
during
the
2022
fiscal
year,
and
that
is
july
2021
through
june
2022.
At
the
time
of
this
award.
This
includes
funding
through
the
arts
and
science
council's
fiscal
year.
2022
cultural
vision,
grants
and
artist
support
grants
which
were
supported
through
the
infusion
fund,
fiscal
sponsors
or
agents
can
have
received
infusion
funds
in
fiscal
year
2022..
A
I
guess
just
a
little
more
insight
on
fiscal
agents
is
they
are
really
the
ones
that
the
city
would
be
writing
the
check
to
and
would
hold
the
money.
But
if
they're
fiscal
agent,
then
they
would
be
distributing
it
back
to
that
organization
to
use
so
they
they
aren't
getting
double
funds,
but
are
more
holding
it
and
working
with
you
all
to
manage
it
properly.
A
They
are
not
currently
eligible
for
that
grant
for
this
grant.
But,
as
we
said,
some
of
our
operating
grants
are
being
administered
by
arts
and
culture,
advisory
board
or
sorry
by
arts
and
science
council,
and
they
will
be
distributing
project
specific
funding
in
the
spring.
So
please
keep
an
eye
out
for
that,
and
we
will
also
be
sharing
that
information
on
our
own
website,
etc.
A
A
Unfortunately,
no
this
grant
is
for
organizations
and
groups
whose
primary
mission
is
based
in
arts
and
culture,
and
you
know
if
there
are
specific
examples,
feel
free
to
get
those
to
us,
and
we
can
give
you
a
more
specific
answer,
but
in
general
the
answer
is
no
there
and
then
can
art
departments
or
clubs
at
public
schools
apply
yes
organizations
and
groups.
You
know
primary
mission,
arts
and
culture.
A
A
A
How
can
my
organization
use
these
funds?
Are
there
any
restrictions
on
how
the
funds
are
used,
so
recipients
can
use
the
money
at
their
discretion
for
purposes
related
to
arts
and
culture?
So
this
could
be
renting
space
or
rehearsal
art,
making
performance
skills,
training,
professional
career
development,
paying
artists
and
other
personnels,
but
ineligible
expenditures
include
the
purchase
of
alcoholic
beverages,
personal
use
items,
any
political
or
public
policy
campaigns.
A
Non-Partisan
voter
registration
is
permitted,
though,
if
that
was
to
be
included
in
some
way,
that's
always
a
little
asterisk.
We
have.
So
if
an
organization
is
applying
with
a
fiscal
sponsor,
will
it
be
a
problem
if
the
fixed
fiscal
sponsor
is
also
applying
for
funding
nope?
These
will
be
treated
as
separate
applications
because,
like
we
said,
the
fiscal
sponsor
will
not
be
dipping
in
to
to
your
funds.
A
Do
we
need
a
501
c
3
irs
letter
if
our
fiscal
agent
is
mecklenburg
county
facility,
like
parks
and
rec?
So
this
is
very
similar
to
the
public
school
question
that
we
got
earlier
and
that
governments
are
not
nonprofits
in
their
tax
status.
It's
just
a
little
different,
so
they
would
need
to
work
with
a
fiscal
agent,
and
you
know
it
could
be
partners
for
parks
that
we
have
in
charlotte
or
a
similar
friends
of
group
that
might
be
around
partnership.
A
Parks
is
just
the
one
that
I'm
most
familiar
with,
but
I'm
sure
there
are
other
opportunities
there
and
with
that
specific
example,
too
parks
and
recreation
is
such
a
big
organization.
I
would
think
that
maybe
you
have
a
division
or
similar
that
is
focused
on
arts
and
culture,
and
it
could
be
the
application
to
be
focused
on
that,
as
opposed
to
the
much
larger
organization.
A
A
How
do
I
send
a
copy
of
the
501
c3
letter
from
the
irs
so
at
the
bottom
left
of
the
question?
This
is
a
that
gets
at
your
non-profit
status.
You
can
select
the
plus
add
files
button
and
you
can
add
multiple
files.
That
way,
but
thank
you
for
asking
this
question.
We
add
some
clarifying
language
in
the
question
to
help
make
sure
that's
highlighted
to
everyone
else
who
comes
across
it.
A
Also.
Is
there
a
way
to
save
the
application
and
come
back?
No,
there's
not
a
way
to
save
your
progress,
but
all
incomplete
applications
will
just
be
removed.
So
once
you
have,
the
information
needed
just
start
fresh
on
your
application,
and
you
know
the
half
filled
out
ones
won't
be
counted
against
you
or
anything.
A
B
Sure,
thanks
charlotte
and
hi,
everyone,
I'm
sorry
I
wasn't
on
right
at
the
beginning,
I
had
to
enlist
the
help
of
our
it
guru
to
help
us
help
me
get
online
so
glad
to
be
with
you
and
welcome
to
to
this
webinar.
So
for
for
those
of
you,
I
haven't
met
before
I'm
priya
serkar
and
I'm
the
arts
and
culture
officer
with
the
city
of
charlotte,
and
I
work
with
our
team.
C
B
And
with
the
arts
and
culture
advisory
board
to
oversee
the
infusion
fund
allocations
of
funding,
as
well
as
the
community-wide
cultural
planning
process
that
will
soon
be
beginning,
I
never
miss
a
moment
to
plug
that,
so
hopefully
you'll
all
be
involved
in
that
engagement
process
once
we
begin
later
in
spring.
Thank
you
for
your
interest
in
this
program.
B
I'm
sure
charlotte
has
already
covered
the
the
basics.
So
let
me
know
if
not
charlotte,
but
I
am
glad
you
guys
got
started
without
waiting
for
me
any
longer.
So
I
will
go
ahead
and
kind
of
dive
into
a
few
of
these
questions
or
I
guess
all
the
questions,
but
we've
gotten,
maybe
three
or
four.
I
think
here
so
yeah
I'll
do
my
best
to
answer
these
and
I
think
on
some
of
them.
B
I
think
we
will
need
to
just
get
some
confirmation,
and
so
we'll
do
our
best
to
do
that
and
get
back
to
you
and
put
that
on
the
faq.
Once
we
update
that
following
this
webinar,
one
of
the
questions
comes
from
scott-
and
it
says,
does
a
fiscal
sponsor
or
of
a
group
or
collective
have
to
be
a
primary
purpose
of
arts
and
culture?
B
B
The
next
question
comes
from
chris:
can
our
fiscal
sponsor
be
from
outside
charlotte?
Our
collective
is
charlotte
based,
but
we
use
a
fiscal
sponsor
who's
based
in
chicago.
This
is
one
of
those
I
would
want
to
just
get
a
double.
You
know
I
would
want
to
get
confirmation
of
unless
charlotte
and
juni
julia.
B
If
you
know
the
answer
to
this,
because
my
my
answer
would
be,
I
think,
that's
fine,
but
I
would
want
to
make
sure
with
the
foundation
for
the
carolinas,
because
actually,
in
this
case,
with
the
infusion
fund,
the
foundation
for
the
carolinas
cuts
the
checks,
and
so
I
would
love
to
confirm
with
them
that
there's
no
issue
with
the
fiscal
sponsor
being
elsewhere,
but
julia
or
charlotte.
Do
you
happen
to
know
for
sure
that
you
know
the
answer
to
that?
For
the
for
the
foundation's
perspective.
C
B
Next
question
comes
from
hector.
How
will
equity
and
funding
play
a
role
in
funding
decisions?
Some
demographic
groups
are
funded
more
often
than
others.
That's
a
great
question,
and
I
think
that
is
a
question
that
is
kind
of
broader.
You
know
applicable
to
both
this
this
funding
opportunity,
as
well
as
the
work
of
the
infusion,
but
in
general,
so
you
know
the
infusion
fund
the
opportunity
or
excuse
me.
B
The
arts
and
culture
advisory
board
has
adopted
guiding
principles
which
you
know
recently
have
had
some
conversations
with
folks
that
have,
you
know,
indicated
to
me
that
it's
going
to
be
helpful
for
us
to
post
those
guiding
principles.
We've
been
talking
about
them
in
each
of
our
recent
meetings
and
we'll
be
putting
those
and
we
talk
about
them
in
the
in
the
meetings.
So
some
of
you
who've,
been
tuning
in,
might
have
seen
them,
but
we
can
add
them.
B
We
will
add
them
to
our
website,
so
those
are
clear
and
equity
has
is
one
of
the
one
of
the
guiding
principles.
So
you
know
some
of
the
things
that
this
advisory
board
and
we
as
a
team
have
been
talking
about,
are
what
are
ways.
What
are
the
things
that
have
been
barriers
to
access
for
for
funding?
You
know
one
of
the
things
that
we
are
trying
to
do
to
lower
those
barriers
or
eliminate
barriers.
An
example
of
it
is
actually
this
particular
this
funding
opportunity.
B
You
know,
whereas
previously
you
know,
some
groups
have
received
gen,
unrestricted
funding
and
general
operating
funding.
This
opportunity,
right
now
with
this
open
call
was,
is,
is
a
chance
to
open
up
the
access
to
that
type
of
funding
beyond
groups
that
have
received
it.
You
know
in
the
past
year
over
year,
so
we're
trying
to
make
this
unrestricted
operating
funding
available
to
more
folks.
So
that's
one
way.
B
In
our
you
know
the
two
most
spoken
languages
in
charlotte,
english
and
spanish,
but
as
we've
also
said,
that
is,
if
anyone
is
interested
in
applying
for
this
grant
in
another
language,
that
is
their
first
language
that
we
will
work
with
them
to
have
to
to
have
that
application
as
part
of
this
process.
So
to
so
that's
another
way
that
we're
working
to
achieve
equity
in
funding-
and
this
is
going
to
be
an
ongoing
conversation
among
the
arts
and
culture
advisory
board
and
our
team.
C
B
B
So
these
are
not
project,
you
know
not
not
really
meant
for
say
a
project,
but
meant
for
kind
of
ongoing
funding
needs
or
expenses
that
you
might
have
in
the
ongoing
work
of
your
organization
or
group.
And
so
I
guess
if,
if
there's,
if
there's
not
an
annual
budget
for
this,
for
your
group's
work,
if,
if
the
work
is
really
structured
more
around
a
project,
then
I
it
may
be
that
this
particular
grant.
Isn't
the
right
grant
for
you.
It
might
be
that
a
project
specific
grant
is
actually
the
right
grant.
B
So
that's
something
where
it
might
make
sense
to
reach
out
to
charlotte.
You
know
with
some
more
yeah.
You
know
to
kind
of
delve
into
the
specifics
of
what
your
group
situation
is
and
if
it's
a
particular
project
and
then
maybe
charlotte-
and
we
can,
you
know-
put
our
heads
together
as
well
to
assess
whether
you
know
this
funding
mechanism
is
a
fit
or
if
a
different,
a
different
opportunity
would
actually
be
a
better
fit.
If
it's
a
project
and
not
a
group
that
has
ongoing
kind
of
activities
and
operations.
B
The
next
question
comes
from
tori,
it
says:
can
a
group
of
artists
with
llc
status
apply
with
a
non-profit
fiscal
sponsor,
so
my
gut
reaction?
I
definitely
want
to
hear
from
charlotte
and
julia
as
well.
If
you
have
a
different
perspective,
but
as
I
interpret
this,
an
llc
status
is
essentially
a
for-profit
status.
It's
a
limited
liability
corporation,
and
so
that
would
be.
B
B
Looking
for
okay,
so
I'm
gonna,
I
get
it
I
get.
I
I
see
a.
I
see
a
ditto
to
tracey's
question
from
megan.
I
I
want
to
ask
it
because
I
actually
am
interpreting
it
in
a
slightly
different
way.
So
megan
asks
did
it
chase
tracy's
question.
We
are
a
new
501c3
and
don't
have
an
annual
budget
yet
so
I
would
ask
whether
this
might
be
an
opportunity
for
you
to
develop
your
annual
budget.
B
You
know
as
a
new
organization.
It
sounds
like
you're,
not
necessarily
you
know,
because
I
know
some
groups
get
together
specifically
around
a
certain
project
right.
They
they
don't
necessarily
have
a
501c3
status
or
they
haven't
kind
of
solidified
as
a
group
that
does
ongoing
activities
together
beyond
the
scope
of
one
project
or
program,
and
so,
if
you're,
a
new
501c3,
it
sounds
to
me
like
you
might
be
planning
to
have
ongoing
activities.
B
You
know
throughout
the
year
beyond
one
project,
and
if
that's
that's
the
case,
then
you
might
be.
You
know
having
your
you
know
your
first
annual
budget
that
you'd
be
developing,
so
that
again,
I
would
encourage
you
to
you
know,
reach
out
to
us
and
reach
out
to
to
charlotte,
so
that
we
can
hopefully
address
your
particular
situation,
but
I
I
would
think
this.
Actually,
you
know
if
you're
a
group
that
you
you
definitely
know
you're
going
to
be
having
operations
throughout
this
upcoming
year.
B
You
know
if
you're,
just
because
you're
a
new
group
and
you
haven't
yet
fleshed
that
out.
This
could
be
an
opportunity
where
you
would
be
able
to
flesh
that
out
and
get
a
feel
for
what
you
think
it's
going
to
take
for
you
to
operate
over
the
course
of
this
year
coming
activities,
and-
and
you
know
again,
but
this
one
is,
if
you've
had
a
chance
to
check
out
the
application,
you
can
see
that
it
is
a
pretty
streamlined
application
that
doesn't
have.
You
know
we're
not
requesting
a
budget.
B
We
are
asking
what
kind?
What
are
the
things
that
you
plan
to
use
the
the
funds
for,
and
there
will
be
a
simple
and
straightforward
report
eventually,
but
again,
this
is,
I,
I
think,
could
be
a
great
opportunity,
for
you
know
some
unrestricted
funds
for
organizations.
You
know,
regardless
of
how
long
you've
been
around,
we
just
wouldn't
be
funding
the
entirety
of
the
operation,
as
charlotte
explained.
B
Does
a
podcast
consider
as
art
and
culture
program?
It
is
yes,
it
is
an
art,
arts
and
culture
program.
I'm
not
sure
this
is
sorry.
This
question
is
from
kaiwen.
I
hope
I'm
pronouncing
that
your
name
correctly,
the
so
the
podcast
is
an
arts
and
culture
program.
I
guess
I
I'm
not
sure-
and
this
is
where
reaching
out
to
us
directly
what
might
be
helpful.
So
we
can
look
at
your
particular
situation.
D
D
B
Okay,
thank
you
for
explaining
that
yeah
the
to
me.
That
sounds
like
that's
a
project
that
is
a
new
project
or
program,
and
it's
not,
then
the
organization's
main
function
isn't
arts
and
culture,
but
it
is
an
arts
and
culture
program.
And
so,
if
the
funding
is
for
the
program,
then
I
don't
think
that
that
would
be
a
fit
for
this
particular
grant,
but
that
a
project
specific
grant
would
be
more
appropriate.
A
A
And
if
you
scroll
down
to
the
bottom,
here's
the
overview
information
about
the
session
you're
on
right
now,
an
area
to
collect
questions,
and
then
this
frequently
asked
questions
section
which
will
be
updated
based
on
what
we've
gotten
today
from
you
all.
So,
if
you
select
continue,
it
will
actually
bring
you
to
the
application
portion.
A
A
A
A
B
B
If
you
know,
if
you
know
of
a
group
or
with
a
group
that
would
be
interested
in
applying,
but
their
preference
would
be
to
apply
in
a
language
other
than
english
or
spanish,
please
reach
out
to
us
reach
out
to
charlotte
or
ask
them
to
reach
out,
and
then
we
will
work
with
them
to
be
able
to
receive
their
application
and
their
in
their
language
of
choice.
And
then
we
can
work
on
our
end
to
have
it
translated
and
be
able
to
have
it
in
the
mix.
A
B
B
That
is
a
great
question
and
very
broad.
So
I
think
that
you
know
for
arts
and
culture.
We
generally
would
take
a
kind
of
a
broader
view
of
what
is
considered
arts
and
culture
without
knowing
kind
of.
If
there's
something
in
particular
that
you
have
in
mind
it
would,
it
would
be.
I
would
again
encourage
you
to
reach
out
to
charlotte,
and
you
know
we
can
answer
the
question,
for
you
know
your
specific
situation.
B
B
B
Going
back
to
the
question
on
equity,
as
we
were,
as
we
talked
about
a
little
bit
earlier,
one
of
the
questions
was
about
that
and
so
part
of
the
process
of
you
know,
thinking
about
equity
and
and
how
we
can
address.
That
is
to
get
a
better
understanding
of
who
who
all
you
are
serving
in
your
arts
and
culture.
Work.
B
B
So
I
think
there
for
me
the
key
is
that
it's
a
program
so
and
this
isn't
a
program
program-specific
grant.
So
this
is
an
unrestricted
general
operating
funds
for
an
organization
and
so
because
it's
unrestricted
and
it's
general
operating,
that's
why
it
needs
to
be
going
to
an
organization
or
group
that
or
that
where
the
primary
function
is
arts
and
culture.
B
So
if,
if
the
funding
is
sought
for
a
specific
program
where
the
rest
of
the
activities
of
the
organization
or
group
are
not
arts
and
culture,
then
I
think
this
particular
grant
wouldn't
be
the
right
fit
and
it
would
a
project
or
program.
Specific
grant
sounds
like
it
would
be
a
better
fit
for
that.
But
again
this
that's
one
where
it
would
probably
be
helpful
to
have
a
conversation.
So
if
you
want
to
reach
out
to
us
and
reach
out
to
charlotte,
that
might
be,
that
might
be
good.
B
If
you
have
received
this
question
is
from
nina,
I
don't
know
if
I'm
pronouncing
your
name
correctly.
So
sorry,
if
I'm
not
if
you
received
a
grant
from
the
arts
and
science
council,
but
it
was
through
a
different
fiscal
sponsor.
Is
that
okay,
I'm
not
sure
if
that
grant
was
supported
through
the
infusion
fund.
B
So
I
think
this
is
one
where
it
would
be
helpful
to
reach
out
to
us
and
with,
if
you
have
the
specific
information,
because
I
think
it
we
would
need
to
know
what
was
the
grant
that
you
received.
If
it's
a
cultural
vision
grant
or
an
artist
support
grant
that
was
within
this
fiscal
year,
the
2021-2022
fiscal
year,
then
it
likely
was
supported
through
the
infusion
fund.
B
But
again,
if,
if
you're
able
to
reach
out
to
us
with
the
specifics
of
that
grant
and
the
timing
of
the
grant,
we
actually
also
have
a
list
of
the
recipients
of
grants
that
were
supported
through
the
infusion
fund
that
were
done
through
the
arts
and
science
council.
Then
we
would
be
able
to
answer.
You
know
answer
your
question.
You
know
with
confidence.
B
B
So
this
comes
from
amber.
We
conduct
our
work
in
charlotte
and
serve
the
charlotte
community,
but
our
address
is
listed
in
huntersville.
Are
we
eligible
to
apply,
unfortunately,
for
this?
For
this
grant?
It
would
be
no
because
this
particular
grant
is
for
within
the
charlotte.
You
know
the
city
of
charlotte
organizations
and
groups
based
in
the
city
of
charlotte.
B
So
I
know
there
are
organizations
that
are
located
in
various
places
that
serve
the
charlotte
community
as
well
as
other
community
communities
and
as
charlotte
lamb
said,
the
arts
and
culture
advisory
board
is
looking
at
at
that
kind
of
question
on
a
broader
scale.
You
know
for
fy23
funding,
but
for
this
particular
grant
it's
restricted
to
the
city
of
charlotte.
B
B
I
think
that
that
that's
actually
fine,
because
you're
based
in
charlotte
and
serving
I
would
assume
you
know
charlotte
folks
and
your
the
writing
community-
is
also
elsewhere
from
outside
of
charlotte
but
you're
based
here
and
you're.
A
501c3
and
the
primary
purpose
sounds
like
it's
arts
and
culture,
and
so
that
sounds
like
to
me.
You
would
be
eligible
for
this
opportunity,
but
again,
if
there
are
some
more
specifics
that
around
that
that
it
would
be
helpful
to
talk
through,
then
please
do
reach
out
to
us.
B
B
You
know
what
I'm
not
sure.
I
think
that
one
is
probably
going
to
require
kind
of
more
of
a
conversation,
scott
in
order
to
just
better
understand
the
work
and
kind
of
the
mission
of
the
organization
or
group.
So
I
would
encourage
you
to
reach
out
to
charlotte,
and
that
way
we
have
a
better
understanding
of
what
is
the
primary
mission
and
focus,
but
it
sounds
like
it
could
be
eligible,
but
just
would
be
easier
to
figure
out
in
a
conversation.
B
B
So
that's
a
good
question.
They're
they're
they're
funding
the
funding
of
those
groups
through
the
infusion
fund
for
general
operating
support.
Nothing
else
made
them
eligible
beyond
the
fact
that
they
had
received
previous
support,
because
part
of
the
purpose
of
the
infusion
fund
was
to
try
to
continue
to
have
support.
That
would
help
to
stabilize
the
sector,
which
included
those
groups,
and
when
the
infusion
fund
was
set
up,
the
funding
partners
didn't
want.
B
You
know
they
knew
that
they
would
take
time
to
get
a
board
in
place
and
to
get
an
arts
and
culture
officer
hired,
and
so
they
did
not
want
for.
Those
groups
that
were
you
know,
would
typically
have
gotten
funding
at
the
beginning
of
the
fiscal
year
to
not
be
able
to
to
operate,
because
they
would
have
no
funding.
So
this
particular
this
grant
opportunity
right
now.
The
point
of
it
is
to
make
exactly
the
same
kind
of
funding.
So
again
those
organizations
get.
I
have
gotten
unrestricted
operating
grants
previously.
B
It
was
from
asc,
and
this
year
is
through
the
infusion
fund,
and
this
this
grant
opportunity
right
now
is
meant
to
also
make
that
kind
of
funding
available
to
other
groups
who
typically
have
not
gotten
it
through
asc
and
also
did
not
get
it
through
the
infusion
fund
at
first,
and
so
it's
actually
the
same
type
of
funding,
and
this
is
being
done
through
an
open
call,
and
I
think
there
was
a
second
part
of
your
question
which
had
to
do
with.
If
we
get
funding
with
this
grant.
B
Does
this
allow
us
to
be
considered
for
annual
funding?
So
I
guess
one
thing
I
would
say
is
annual
funding.
You
know,
I
think
whether
it's
annual
is
an
open
question
that
is
up
to
the
advisory
board
as
they
look
ahead
to
fy
23
funding,
but
the
I
think
that
you
know
the
the
reason
they
were
funded
annually
or
or
to
me,
the
term
annually
funded
simply
refers
to
that
most
of
those
groups,
but
not
all
of
them
received
operating
grants.
B
You
know
annually
and-
and
did
so
you
know
each
year,
but
they
again
for
the
time
period
of
the
infusion
fund.
The
advisory
board
is
considering
how
they
want
to
allocate
grants
for
fiscal
year
23
and
then
they'll
look
ahead
at
fiscal
year
24.,
so
we
we
don't
know
right
now
what
their
decisions
going
to
be
about
providing.
B
Oh,
I
think
I
froze
saying
I
was
just
saying
that
we
don't
know
yet
what
the
advisory
board
is
going
to
want
to
do
with
their
fiscal
year,
23
funding
with
regard
to
unrestricted
operating
grants,
but
we
just
did
know
that
you
know
this
for
the
funds
that
we
still
had
remaining
in
fy
22.
We
wanted
to
make
sure
that
this
type
of
funding
was
open
to
more
organizations
and
groups.
Beyond
the
38
who
had
previously
received
it,
so
we
don't
know
what
the
funding
relationship
will
be
with
if
you're
funded
through
this
round.
B
B
A
A
You
don't
need
a
physical
sponsor,
so
it's
professional
development
things
that
you
need
to
operate
pretty
pretty
open-ended,
but
it
is
not
buying
alcoholic
beverages-
and
I
know
that
might
seem
way
over
here,
but
we've
seen
you
know,
gallery
openings
and
such
where
they've
got
complimentary
wine
and
you
know
that's
an
example
of
something
that
this
can't
fund,
as
well
as
any
personal
use
things.
So
that's
you
know
going
on
vacation.
I
guess,
or
you
know
your.
A
B
B
A
A
You
know
I
also
don't
want
to
make
you
guys
so
frustrated
that
this
becomes
a
much
more
of
a
taxing
task
than
it
needs
to
be
if
you've
submitted
a
complete
application.
Without
your
attachments,
you
can
just
email
me.
The
attachments
just
be
very
clear
in
your
email,
the
organization
that
these
correspond
with
and
my
email
is
in
the
chat
as
well
thanks
charlotte.
B
B
B
There's
a
question
from
douglas.
Do
all
projects
need
to
begin
after
april
30th,
or
can
the
funding
be
used
to
assist
with
the
project
that
began
prior
to
april
30th?
Also,
is
there
a
deadline?
The
project
needs
to
be
completed
on
banks
in
advance.
So
again
this
isn't
for
projects.
So
you,
if
you
want
to
use
the
funding
for
something,
that's
is
in
progress.
That's
totally
fine.
B
A
B
Just
again,
thank
you
so
much
for
joining
this
webinar
for
your
interest
in
this
opportunity.
We're
excited
about
it
again
because,
as
I
said,
we're
trying
to
provide
more
of
this
unrestricted
operating
type
of
funding
that
can
be
so
difficult
to
come
by
to
more
organizations
and
groups
that
have
not
necessarily
had
access
to
those
funds
previously
in
previous
years.
So
thanks
for
reaching
out
and
yeah,
please
please
email!
You
can
see.
Charlotte's
email
address
there
and
let
us
know
if
you
have
other
more
specific
questions
that
might
be
best.
