contemporary Indigenous voices and help reclaim space for Native culture.
These are the voices and people you will be hearing and supported by today including Thanh, the voice you heard earlier. I’m Jaren Bonillo Senior Program Officer of the Community Investment team.
You heard from Tina Wiley, who is the facilitator and Program officer who heads up this grand category and our program associates Lorena Moreno, who is on technical assistance.
Assistants, so just a few.
Who on a web X? Remember to yourself, but I think you all are so no worries.
He asked questions during the presentation, and for you throughout the presentation, if you have a question in, there will be monitoring them throughout the session. But.
Do some testing call support, make sure you type in last name and off pass before your question, and describe your issue and she'll be able to address technical issues. And, as I mentioned, I'll be monitoring the QA all at the end.
And then just to navigate the web.
Change some things around on the bottom, right? Corner there's icons and.
Here you can also direct message in all caps for technical support and remember that you can put in your questions throughout the session and they will be responded to the agenda.
Okay, so before I move on to the next slide, actually, we don't have the Q and a feature in Webex meetings. We have it in Webex even so for our meeting for today. Any questions you have please write it in the chat 2nd part. Like Aaron said, I'll kept my name and myself or Todd.

This is what I'm worried about today, a little bit background about the San Francisco commission. Tina will walk you through the eligibility and requirements for that program scoring criteria. How the panelists will your application.
What the application process entails how to submit your application online and there's that time allocated on.
Grad program evolution of.
Grant program, it's a grand program that funds creative writers to encourage that to see.
Developed the applicant must be a fiber 1 C3 organization to be eligible to. And as a reminder.
Cisco.
And then if you happen to visit the San Francisco commission website.
Down the road, the guidelines have been revised.
I'm going to share a little bit about the commission with the agency that champion as a central by investing in a vibrant community enlivening, the urban environment.
Hotel policy, we are 1 of the 2 agencies in the city that specifically funds the art along with grants parts programs.
Public our program investment team of which we are here to.
Next slide.
The San Francisco commission is the 1st agency to approve a racial equity statement. This is a guiding principle, and is also published in all of our next.
The community investment program, support San Francisco artists, organizations, and communities with an equity lens to grants technical systems capacity, building, economic development and education initiatives.
Just want me to share this slide with you a sense of.
Through the fund last year we received 292 Africans and.
1.6M dollars those supports went to a 154 grantees of those organizations individual items.
You'll also see that there was a little over half of an applicant success rate there and we need all of our grant programs through grant panels and for you, sir, to make those recommendations.
This is a visualization work essentially, and it gives you the flow of where we are on any particular cycle. We do this right now. We're in the outreach and technical assistance.
Um, for this grant for particular, the application, what we do next month in February, it's also a grant parallel review that will.
Funding approvals go through the community investments. Committee of the commission approved by the, for promotion the following 1 and then the grantees work on the deliverables grant contract.
I don't know.
And then the cycle.
Applications and the.
Uh, and now I'm going to turn it over to Tina to talk through the item. This Methodist program, you.
Thanks so much Jason and hello again to everyone I really appreciate your being here. I don't know where the weather is where you all are, but it's very nice. We're on that. And I hope y'all are experiencing some nice weather. So, yeah, I'm here to go over the eligibility requirements next slide. Please.
All right, so the artivist in residence brand also shorten as a are air support, small and mid sized creative exploration, slash arch arts, education organizations to multi year support for teaching artist, employment and programming.
Grant the highlights include support up to 400000 dollars over 3 years. This is for hiring and nurturing the talents of teaching artists and for the rest of this presentation, I'm going to start calling teaching artist, art of this as part time employees. This grant is open up to.
Our joiners and age groups and supports vulnerable populations and intersectional identities. Jared mentioned earlier that the artivist in residential is an evolution of the writers Corp, teaching artist in residence, or also known as with Tara Grant and we are so happy to be able to.
To take Victor to the next level, and by maintaining the integrity and bigger or professional development or Artemis or teaching artists and expanding the art John and age group serve to be inclusive of life, long learning and creative exploration next slide. Please.
So before we dive in deeper, I just want to provide a little bit a glossary or Alexa, kind of some of the language. You'll see here in the grant. So, artivist very it looks like when it is a combination between an artist and an activist. So, if we expand upon that, those are healers visionaries.
Listeners and for us by naming the teaching artist cohort, art of this, we're striving to cultivate a healing and social justice based approach that reflects and empowers bipap, black, indigenous people of color communities plus communities and vulnerable populations. You'll see.
Throughout the application that we say community learner, community learner means program participants we well, I wanted to kind of step away from the idea that they are participant or a student. Because when people think of students, they think of someone in age between K through 12, when really, you know, you can be a student.
A scholar at any age and we're all about community learning together creative exploration. This is my own lexicon. I want to expand upon this idea of arts education because education really sounds like it's based in academics and art is academic. I'm not saying that, but that it's very much.
Education you think K, through 12 or college or grad school, but you don't think about the entire lifetime of an individual. So artistic creative exploration is artistic engagement at any age or experience level. Lastly, I wanted to I want to call out that vulnerable population in this grant refers to, you.
Between the ages of 0T and 24 years old, older adults, age, 60, and up individuals with disabilities folks affected by the justice system, or foster care and individuals experiencing homelessness and job was next slide.
So, for the project requirements, you can see a list of all the project requirements on pages 4 and 5 of the guidelines. You really want to pay close attention to these pages as they will make sure that you are a competitive applicant. Some of the objectives here. I really want to lift our art of this are hired as part time.
hourlies that hourly employees and teach a minimum of 150 hours. Each year the cohort must be comprised of at least 3 Artemis for the life of the grant at least 2 thirds of the cohort and myself identify as bipap. And at least half of the administrative.
For the art of this grant must identify as next slide. Please.
Um, more things to is that, yeah, the project must directly benefit benefit by pocket plus and and vulnerable populations, but a minimum of 150 learners, the entire grant window. So that means.
In this 3 years, you must reach at least 150 folks. 80% of the grant. So, up to 320000 must be allocated for compensation of the, and the remaining 20% must be allocated for direct programmatic and administrative.
Expenses and I also want to call out that there is a required 20% batch for indirect administrative expenses. This could be you can use this 20% match in 2 different ways. So this could be a cash match and just say, hey, I have 2627000 dollars a year.
To have with this grant, or you could say, oh, I have a staff member that's going to devote X amount of time and that will be the cash match or not the cash my entry but the staff time match next slide. Please.
Eligibility requirements, these are basic eligibility for just about all of our grants here at the arts commission. And so I really want to point out here oh that with our eligibility. And I'm sorry there is an error on.
Slide is that this grant is not for fiscally sponsored organizations so I do want to say this is the 1st iteration of this grant. It will return next year, but for this round, we are not having this sponsored organization participating.
Next slide please.
So more things to uplift with eligibility these, these points here are very specific to the art of this grant. So that your organization mission statement must clearly be focused on arts, education, engagement, development production and or presentation of arts activities and.
From Cisco, there is a corporate address, and a lot of y'all are used to this, but for this grant, we want to be able to include folks to. I'm going to learn my languages today, I guess just Friday but.
Yeah, I mean, due COVID’s economic impacts and all the different health ordinances that are going on, we are opening up our corporate address requirements to include Pre, coven leases from the last 24 months. So from February 2019 through February 2021.
So that orange that are working remotely can still start and still serve the asset constituency can apply. So you can send a lease document with those dates, right? In between February, ranging with those dates, or if you are super dope and own a piece of property in San Francisco.
Um, lastly we are asking for 3 full years of programmatic activity, serving asset residence at the time of the application before our education or creative Expo, exploration, programmatic activities. So, this is also a question That'll be.
In the application, so I'm not going to dive into the on this right now, because we'll go into it in a bit next slide.
All right, so this is just an overview of some of the application you will need to gather. So your approved corporate address proof of good standing a demonstration of 3 years of programmatic activity. Your financial 990.
I mean, 9, Z, and of course work and curriculum samples next slide please.
All right so scoring criteria.
Um, so this area is very, very important to follow. I don't know when they open up the guidelines or the web page while we do this, but this recording will be available. But also, I feel like this is a part where a lot of folks want to take notes because this area will very much help. You develop your responses.
Um, and so that's the so this is what the panelists will use to evaluate and scoring your application out of a total of 100 points. They reflect the grant program goals and how the funds are meant to be used. These are located on page 9 and 10 of the guidelines.
And again, please do a close read of the guidelines while you are tracking your application. And for somebody all that just came in. If you downloaded the guidelines before January, 13, please re, download them because they were revised for clarity of information. So copy.
Anyway, so 1st, connection here is racial equity and the question 1, explain how the goes program aligns with the organization's mission and advances racial equity by prioritizing communities of color and vulnerable groups.
Is that, for each question, there is a word limit, so keep that in mind that, you know, when you're typing this out, then you're going to have to get really succinct and also, but for question 1, we really want to see how your programming ambition advanced racial equity in the past years share how you've collected.
Raised with bipap communities and approach intersectional identities in the past 8 years, avoid writing a list of programs instead share what your goal your goals or outcomes were. So the panel has an understanding of both your organization organizational and programmatic depth and breadth.
Question 2, please provide examples of how your organization has collaborated, supported and managed Artemis in the past 3 years, share what you've learned, or taken away as best practices for working with Artemis in your organization history, and apply that knowledge to the 2nd, part of this question.
Um, which is who, how would the organization design and implement so compose a clear outline summarizing how you plan to implement the art of this program you propose while censoring the needs of the bipap slash intersectional community, you are engaging next line please.
Thank you. All right so this section is called program design and implementation. It's out of a total 30 points for question. 3 here we want to see a hiring strategy to recruit, employ and retain. Artemis some of you may already have teaching artist on staff and so formed as art of this cohort. That's okay.
However, be sure to tell us about your application process and requirements, that will distinguish an artivist from the rest of your teaching our staff. Additionally, we all we all know, that the employee employer relationship is a 2 way street. So, with that said, share some unique professional development opportunities, you.
Plan to provide to the cohort, tell us your vision for how the artivist program will affect your organization and constituents in question. 4 we want to know how you will promote to your targeted audience, basic answers. Like, I'll promote all social media, or I'll just tell a lot of people.
Provide context for how your outreach strategy works for this specific community, or culture you aim to work with. Basically, how does your propose Artemis programmer collect the needs and the people that make up that community, then tell us clear and measurable goals or learning outcomes that will be achieved.
The course of this grant window next slide please.
