BROWARD COUNTY, Fla. – Broward Cultural Division invites interested participants from the community to a Mini-Grant Program workshop offered TWICE on Tuesday, May 4, 2010. These sessions will be for Broward County not-for-profit cultural organizations, and will be held in the Broward County Main Library, Bienes Conference Room, 100 S. Andrews Ave., Fort Lauderdale. The workshop will be offered at 11:00 am, and AGAIN at 6:00 pm.

The purpose of the Mini-Grant Program is to assist eligible Broward County not-for-profit cultural organizations with annual operating revenues of less than $100,000, to fund small cultural projects for which applicants have not received grant monies through any other Cultural Division program. The project must be an exhibition, a performance, or other arts activity. The workshop will also cover how to submit an online application.

Organizations must be registered with the Florida Secretary of State as a cultural, not-for-profit corporation. They must have operated in their discipline(s) in Broward County for a minimum of one uninterrupted year following incorporation; and must have provided services in Broward County for a minimum of six months following the date of incorporation. Recent examples of past-funded organizations include: The GirlChoir of South Florida, Inc; Arts United, Inc; and The Write Side Poets, Inc.

Mini-Grant awards are up to $5,000 per award, on a funds-available basis. An eligible cultural organization may apply for one (1) Mini-Grants during the County’s fiscal year. The next Mini-Grant Program application deadline is June 1, 2010 for projects implemented after October 1 through September 30, 2011.

There is no fee for this workshop. Registration is available online at www.broward.org/arts and click on “Workshops.” For more information, please call Adriane Clarke, grants specialist, 954-357-7530, e-mail, aclarke@broward.org;
