CMAB SERVICES AND GRANTING PROCESS APPLICATION DRAFT REVIEW Applicants may request a draft review of an application. CMAB staff will review the application and identify any concerns, upon request submitted via email (media@centralmnartsboard.org) or fax (320-968-4291), at least three weeks before the application deadline. A review of the application does not guarantee that the request will be funded. REVIEW PROCESS Applications will be made available to the CMAB Board of Directors or a review panel at least two weeks prior to the review date. Applications are assigned final scores at an in-person review meeting. Each application will receive a score on a scale from 0 to 30. An application must attain an average of 15 or higher to be considered for funding. All review meetings are open to the public; see CMAB website for board and panel review dates. CMAB Directors give final approval on all grant awards. All applicants will be notified of the Board’s decision. GRANT CONTRACT Awardees must submit a contractual agreement within 30 days of notification. Failure to provide required documents can result in the cancellation of a grant commitment. If funds are refused within 45 days of receipt of grant notification, they will be offered to the next applicant in rank order. Returned or refused funds will be applied to future grant rounds after 45 days. ARTIST AGREEMENT A signed payment agreement with the artist(s) participating in the public art project must be uploaded with the contract. ACKNOWLEDGEMENT OF CMAB FUNDING Because it is important for the public to understand how state tax dollars are returning to their communities, and to fulfill Minnesota state law requirements, grantees are contractually required to acknowledge CMAB funding. The appropriate statement is provided to awarded applicants in their grant contract. This acknowledgement statement must appear on all advertising material, programs, press releases and announcements referencing the funded event. Grantee must provide copies of all internally generated advertising materials and programs with their final report. FINAL REPORTS A final report must be submitted within sixty (60) days of the project’s completion. Applicants with overdue final reports are ineligible to apply for CMAB grants until the final report is received and approved.
