The Puffin Foundation: 2023 Annual Artist Grant Program

Posted: Nov 22, 2022

Puffin’s 2023 Annual Artist Grant Program is underway, as of 9/1/22. What disciplines will you be accepting funding proposals for? We will be considering new proposals in the genres of theater, video/film, and climate/environmental for our 2023 grant cycle. Applications in other disciplines will not be considered. Please note that the primary focus of your proposal must be one of these three genres. For example, please do not apply for a video/film grant if you are composing a musical score for a film. One exception is that we will also consider arts-related projects focusing on environmental Issues and the climate crisis confronting us all in other genres such as theater. Towards the end of 2023, we will begin accepting proposals for our 2024 grant cycle. We anticipate accepting applications from the following genres: music, photography, and fine arts. How does the ongoing pandemic impact the proposal review process? Your proposal will need to reflect the reality of COVID, ensure the safety of participants and viewers, and take into account the possibility of ongoing restrictions on public gatherings, physical exhibitions, and the like. Tell us how your plans might change in your project description if the virus worsens or lessens in your area. Puffin’s mission to support the arts and artists is more vital than ever now. As society re-imagines public life, social gatherings, artistic performance, and exhibition, we want to hear about what your work looks like at this moment and how it can be shared.

United Way of the Big Bend: Community Impact 2023 – 2025 Funding Cycle

Funding : Funding

Posted: Nov 11, 2022

UWBB Funding Overview – FAQ The United Way of the Big Bend is beginning our next two-year grant funding cycle (2023-2025) and seeks applications for programs with the potential to make significant progress in our five focus areas deemed critically important for a thriving community: Housing, Health, and Mental health, Early Learning and education, Skills development, and Safety Net services. UWBB will be funding programs within the impact areas that provide services to the ALICE (Asset Limited, Income Constrained, Employed) population – essentially those living in poverty and the working poor. UWBB is particularly interested in innovative and research-based programs with clear, measurable, quantifiable (data-supported) objectives, tasks, and outcomes. Nonprofit organizations may apply for funding for different programs in one or more of the five impact areas. No programs are funded in more than one area. A separate notice of intent to apply is required for each area of impact for which an organization seeks funding. This is to say, if an agency has a housing support program that also provides mental health counseling to participants, the agency can apply for funding either under Housing or under Health/Mental Health, but not both. If, however, an agency has two separately operating programs, one providing housing support, and the other providing counseling, the agency could apply for funding for each program, separately, under each of those impact areas, Eligibility Criteria UWBB makes grants to tax-exempt agencies classified as 501(c)(3) organizations, which are public charities as defined by the Internal Revenue Service. The United Way of the Big Bend will only consider grant proposals that benefit residents of the county in which it is funded and that address needs within our five impact areas: Housing, Health, and Mental health, Early Learning and education, Skills development, and Safety Net programming services to include, but not limited to, programs for seniors, and families and children facing emergency situations. UWBB will use the following criteria to determine a nonprofit’s eligibility for funding: IRS Form 990 – Most recently submitted IRS 990 Proof of Registration as a Nonprofit corporation incorporated (active) in Florida or authorized by the Florida Department of State to transact business in Florida, pursuant to Chapter 617, Florida Statutes Proof of 501(c)(3) status from the US. Department of the Treasury (if not shown on IRS Form 990). Operating Budget – Annual operating budget approved by the nonprofit organization’s board of directors or advisory board. Financial Audit – Agencies whose operating budget is $50,001 or larger: Full financial audit conducted on an annual basis by an independent certified public accountant who has no affiliation with the agency and whose examination is made in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards. NOTE: Agencies selected to receive funding will be required to submit a full audit for each funding year. Financial Review – Agencies whose operating budget is $50,000 or less: A Financial Review conducted by an independent certified public accountant who has no affiliation with the agency and whose review is made in accordance with generally accepted accounting standards. NOTE: Agencies selected to receive funding will be required to submit a financial review for each funding year. Agencies must provide services to residents of the county in which they apply, and provide programming addressing needs within our five impact areas of housing, health and mental health, early learning, skills development, and safety net Agencies must provide services to one or both groups in the targeted population (those living in poverty and the working poor) that fall under at least one of the five impact areas. Agencies must have the capacity to collect, track, and analyze data. General Grant Information Grant term of 24 months (July 2023 – June 2025) with mandatory quarterly reporting Notice of Intent (Letter of Intent: LOI) When submitting the LOI to apply for funding, agencies have the option to collaborate and submit a joint notice of intent. A notice must be submitted for each program for which funding is requested. If submitting a joint notice, each agency will need to meet the eligibility criteria and submit the required documents for review. The joint notice should indicate which agency will serve as the lead agency for the proposed program(s). All LOIs must be received by December 16, 2022. Notice of Intent (LOI) Review and Invitation to Apply Submitted LOIs will be reviewed by volunteer financial professionals to establish eligibility to apply for funding. UWBB will send notices to the CEOs/Executive Directors of agencies informing them of their agency’s status after the review. Agencies deemed eligible will be sent information for the application process. Anticipated Deliverables Nonprofits will be expected to submit each quarter: Performance measures/outcome reports Stories or photos documenting funded program success Demographics and zip codes data for unduplicated clients served by the funded program A contractual commitment to publicly acknowledge UWBB funding for all outreach or promotion of funded program(s) View the 2023-2025 Grant Funding Process Informational Session Powerpoint View the Agency Funding Portal UWBB Contact For questions about the FAQ, notice of intent to apply, required documents, or other general questions, please contact Rhonda Cooper, VP of Community Impact, at rhonda@uwbb.org, or 850-487-8091.

2023 Underwater Museum of Art: Call to Artists

Call for Visual Artists

Posted: Nov 09, 2022

The Cultural Arts Alliance of Walton County (CAA) in partnership with the South Walton Artificial Reef Association (SWARA) join two of South Walton, Florida’s most cherished resources, the arts and the Gulf of Mexico, with the Underwater Museum of Art (UMA). Named by TIME Magazine as one of 100 of the “World’s Greatest Places,” the UMA is the first and only permanent underwater sculpture museum in the United States. Artists are invited to submit proposals for the fifth art installation to be deployed Summer 2023. The UMA is located off the coast of Northwest Florida, less than one mile off the coast of Grayton Beach State Park in South Walton, Florida. The UMA has been featured in online and print publications including National Geographic, Lonely Planet, Travel & Leisure, Newsweek, The New York Times, and more. As part of the CAA’s Art In Public Spaces program, the UMA also augments SWARA's mission of creating marine habitat and expanding fishery populations while providing enhanced cultural, economic and educational opportunities for the benefit, education, and enjoyment of Walton County residents, including students and visitors. The project is supported by Visit South Walton, the National Endowment for the Arts, Visit Florida, The Alys Foundation, and the Florida Department of State, Division of Arts and Culture. This opportunity is open to artists and artist teams. While a demonstrated history of collaboration completing large- and small-scale public art projects is preferred, all artist applications will be considered. Following the application deadline, the CAA will convene a panel of arts and marine environment specialists to review the applications and select proposals for completion and installation. The selected artists will be commissioned to develop design proposals and create a 3D piece of original artwork to be permanently installed in the Underwater Museum of Art. Each artist will receive a $7,500 stipend inclusive of design fees, materials, labor, fabrication, construction, packing materials, shipping, and transportation. Once selections are made, artists will be notified and have approximately five months to complete and deliver work to Walton County, FL where the completed sculptures may be exhibited on land before being transported to Walter Marine in Orange Beach, AL to be attached to custom pedestals. Sculptures will then be taken by barge to the Gulf and carefully submerged around 60 feet to the floor of the Gulf of Mexico. The UMA is produced in conjunction with SWARA’s existing USACOE and FDEP permitted artificial reef project that includes nine nearshore reefs located within one nautical mile of the shore in approximately 60 feet of water. The first phase of the UMA project included seven pieces of sculpture installed in June 2018 with the second phase of ten more sculptures deployed in June 2019 and the third phase, which was postponed due to the pandemic, of eight sculptures was successfully deployed in February 2021, and the fourth installation of nine more sculptures deployed in June 2022 bringing the total number of UMA sculptures to 34. Artists may learn more about the project, see photos and video of the previous installations, and submit online proposals through December 1, 2022 HERE. Interested artists must be registered with Submittable where the artist call and details are posted. For project sponsorship information, visit UMAFL.org.
