SUBJECT
Resolution 2017-052 Approving Fort Fund Grant Disbursements.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The purpose of this item is to approve Fort Fund grants from the Cultural Development and Programming and
Tourism Programming Accounts for the selected community and tourism events, based upon the
recommendations of the Cultural Resources Board.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends adoption of the Resolution.
BACKGROUND / DISCUSSION
The Fort Fund grant program, established in 1989, disburses lodging tax revenues deposited in the City’s
Cultural Development and Programming Account and the Tourism Programming Account in accordance with
the provisions of Section 25-244 of the City Code, where 25% of the revenue from the lodging tax funds is
applied to the Cultural Development and Programming Account to support cultural events and 75% of revenue
from lodging tax is dedicated to the Tourism Programming Account to support tourism events and activities.
Local non-profit organizations may apply to Fort Fund for cultural and/or tourism event support. The City
Council appointed the Cultural Resources Board to review grant applications based on approved guidelines
(Attachment 1) and make recommendations for Fort Fund disbursements to City Council, pursuant to
Ordinance No. 028, 1992 and Section 2-203 (3) of the City Code.
Fort Fund grants support events that enrich the cultural life of the community, promote local heritage and
diversity, provide opportunities for cultural participation, help define Fort Collins as a cultural center and tourist
destination, have wide appeal for a significant part of the community, and promote the general welfare of the
City’s inhabitants.
Fort Fund consists of a three-tiered funding system
Tier #1 was established as an annual programming tier 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 to apply for funding of events. Applications for support from Tier #2 are accepted
each January and June.
The Cultural Innovation Tier #3 was established to further the goal of making Fort Collins a cultural center and
destination. The Cultural Innovation Tier #3 grants address a need for cultural activity in Fort Collins, that will
perpetuate the Tourism Account by generating overnight stays in local hotels, and/or develop new arts,
cultural, or heritage tourism activities that have the potential to impact Fort Collins’ cultural and economic
growth. Organizations may apply for funding from the Cultural Innovation Tier #3 each April.
