Minnesota State Arts Board FY 2024 Arts Experiences Program Overview and Application Instructions page 18 requirement will be met. Grantees will be expected to track and document how ACHF dollars are being used to supplement existing sources of funding and are not being used as a substitute for sources of funding the grantee has traditionally received. The Arts Board defines “traditional sources of support” as: 1) grants received from the Minnesota State Arts Board or one of the state’s eleven regional arts councils that are funded with State general fund dollars, or 2) grants or appropriations from the State’s capital investment budget. • The Minnesota Legislature passed a law that arts and cultural heritage fund (ACHF) dollars must not be spent on administrative costs, indirect costs, or other institutional overhead charges that are not directly related to and necessary for the specific projects or activities that will be funded with arts and cultural heritage funds dollars. If awarded arts and cultural heritage funds, a grantee must track and be able to clearly document what portion of ACHF funds is spent on direct program or project costs and what portion of ACHF funds is spent on administrative costs, indirect, or overhead costs that are “directly related to and necessary” to carry out the programs or projects that are supported with ACHF dollars.
