General Program Support
Registration deadline: February 22, 2011 General Program Support (GPS) represents an investment by NYSCA for ongoing activities of arts and cultural programs that are operated as independent entities within their own organization or for significant arts programming within a non-profit whose mission is not art-based. For example, a performing arts center that is operated as a separate entity within a college or university or a multi-arts center that umbrellas a theatre. The Council examines the nature, scope, and quality of an organization's programs and activities, its managerial and fiscal competence, and its public service when considering the provision and level of GPS support. GPS grants will be no less than $5000 and shall not exceed 25% of the arts or cultural program's budget, based on the income and expense statement for the most recently completed fiscal year. GPS support is awarded on a multi-year basis. Eligibility for other NYSCA support Applicants cannot apply for both General Operating Support and General Program Support. Organizations receiving GOS from NYSCA may also apply for project support in other disciplines.
