present three or more public events annually. These groups may apply for funding from Tier #1
each April. Tier #2 allows organizations that are not eligible for Tier #1 support to apply for
funding of events that are not fund-raising in nature and do not generate more than $5,000 in
proceeds after expenses. Tier #3 allows organizations that are not eligible for Tier#1 support to
apply for funding of events that generate more than$5,000 in proceeds after expenses and are f md-
raising in nature. Applications for support from Tier#2 and Tier#3 are accepted each January and
June. Tier #4 was established to further the goal of making Fort Collins a cultural center and
destination. Tier #4 grants address a need in the cultural activity of Fort Collins, perpetuate the
Tourism Programming Fund by generating over night stays in local hotels, and develop new arts,
cultural, or heritage tourism activities that have the potential to impact Fort Collins cultural and
economic growth.
