Arts Development Project Grants and Two for One Sponsorship 2001/02 and Festival Grants 2002/03
Report of the Director of Arts, Countryside and Community
Contact: Michael Fuller Ext: 6016
1. Introduction
1.1 This report presents details of applications received for project, festival and 2for1grants from groups planning to organise arts projects for Hampshire residents. The project and 2for1 grant requests are for activity in the current year whereas the festivals being considered are being organised in the next financial year.
1.2 A wide range of project proposals have been received for 2001/02 and the usual festival grant recipients have been invited to apply for awards for activity in 2002/03. The full list of applications received is attached in Appendix 2. The budgets that have been provided by the applicants are detailed and funding from other bodies has been identified where relevant.
1.3 Prospective festival grant applicants were invited to apply in December to enable them to plan ahead with some certainty over their funding and to ensure that Hampshire County Council funding is credited in the advance publicity. The details provided by the applicants for festival support are included in Appendix 2.
1.4 The County Council continues to run the Two For One Award Scheme, a very successful initiative that fosters a positive relationship between business and the arts as well as making the grant funding stretch further. The scheme works by matching new sponsorships valued between £200 and £500 and, thereby, provides a useful incentive to arts organisations to find more sponsors. This also encourages more local businesses to sponsor the arts in Hampshire. Applications for this scheme are detailed in Appendix 3.
2. Financial Details
2.1 The budget agreed by Recreation and Heritage Committee for 2001/02 is £67,000 and has been allocated as follows:
£
Project Development Grants 22,000
Festival Grants 11,000
Annual Programme Grants 24,000
Two for One Grants 10,000
2.2 A financial summary is shown in Appendix 1a. A sum of £1,800 is available for distribution if all available monies are brought together.
2 Project Grants
2.1 Project grant applications are listed in Appendix 2, with unspecified requests from applicants relating to projects with deficits of £2,595. Funding recommendations totalling £1,000 are proposed as set out in Appendix 2. The papers in Appendix 2 show details of all project grant applications and these are prefixed with the letter A. More applications for funding have been received for this meeting than the budget was able to accommodate. Also some of the project grant applications are for projects being held in the next financial year and these applicants have been asked to defer their applications for consideration in February 2002.
4. Festival Grants
4.1 It will be noted from the summary in Appendix 2 that applications have been received from thirteen festival organisations. Having assessed the strength of the applications, the Director of Arts, Countryside and Community has identified festivals to the value of £14,700 that could be supported. The financial details for next year's budget are found in the attached Appendix 1b. The recommendations are based on the expectation that the budget for the year 2002/03 will be at least the same as for the current year. This is also true of the funding of £10,000 contained within the Policy and Resources budget for the Economic Strategy for the Arts. Confirmation of these figures will be forthcoming in the new year and so the recommendations need to be subject to the budget being confirmed at similar levels. Additional festival grant applications are expected later in the year. It should be noted that funds are not released to festival organisations until satisfactory accounts for previous years are received.
3 Two For One Award Scheme
3.1 Applications totalling £800 have been received and the details of these are shown in Appendix 3. These grants can be made retrospectively for arts events where an organisation has attracted first time sponsorship from a company. It is recommended that full matching amounts be made to the two applications due to the great success of this scheme in attracting other revenue funding for the arts. Funding recommendations totalling £800 are proposed and the details of these are shown in Appendix 3.
Recommendations
1) that two grants totalling £1,000 be approved for small scale arts activities in 2001/02
2) that, subject to consideration of next year's revenue budget, grants totalling £14,700 be approved for festivals in 2002/03
3) that two grants totalling £800 be approved to match business sponsorship under the two for one scheme.
