City of Atlantic Beach Arts & Recreation Contribution Grant Application FY 2024-2025 ORGANIZATIONS & INDIVIDUALS Thank you for your interest in applying for an Arts & Recreation Contribution Grant from the City of Atlantic Beach. Here, in Atlantic Beach, we place a high priority on arts and recreation as a key indicator of a good quality of life for our residents; therefore, our City Commission has allocated funding for FY2024-2025 to support these activities. If you've applied for a grant in the past, you'll find that we've made some changes. First, it is no longer necessary for applicants to have 501(c)3 nonprofit status so long as your project or program adheres to our stated giving guidelines. Second, to encourage a variety of programming year to year, we may be recommending that your project become a regular city project if you've been funded for three years or more. This policy went into effect in our 2023-2024 grant cycle. We will continue evaluate these on a case-by-case basis. Finally, we've moved the entire process online to save some trees, as we here in AB are always wont to do. We are, however, still adhering to the relevant code pertaining to contributions: Add the code here, though I don't think it's necessary to write out the whole thing, maybe just the Ordinance numbers? Please note the timeline we have outlined within this application. One other heads up, we will be requiring each recipient to submit a Final Report at the end of this grant cycle. A sample of what to expect is attached in the Appendix. Let's get started...
