One mega-grant up to $100,000 and additional grants up to $10,000 will be awarded to qualifying organizations by the Art, Culture and Entertainment, Inc. (ACE) marketing committee on the behalf of Foo Foo Festival.
The funds are designed to help new and existing organizations create exceptional programming and content for the Foo Foo festival, held in November from the 5th through the 16th 2015. Special consideration will be given to organizations whose goal supports increased tourism through their ideas, exhibits and performances. Not-for-profits and private collaborations with not-for-profits are encouraged to apply.
To qualify for grant funding, events must support some or all of the festival dates, and must fall under the arts/cultural category, including but not limited to visual and performing arts, culinary, history and cultural arts and entertainment.
