EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The guidelines for the Cultural Development and Programming and Tourism Programming accounts (Fort Fund) provide a three-tiered funding system. Organizations may apply for grants from these accounts to fund community events. Tier #1 was established as an annual programming fund for organizations whose primary purpose is to 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 fund-raising in nature. Applications for support from Tier#2 and Tier#3 are accepted each January and June. Disbursements from funds in the City's Cultural Development and Programming and Tourism Programming accounts as shown on Exhibit "A" to the Resolution were recommended by the Cultural Resources Board at its regular meeting of January 25, 2006 for Tier #2 and Tier #3 applicants.
