How to Use On Line Forms
  • Select the type of grant for which you will apply.
  • Click on the folder that corresponds to your selected category: Mini Grant or Project Grant (which will include Artistic Innovation and Cultural Tourism as options); or General Operating Support (GOS)
  • All the guidelines and forms you need will be contained within the category folder

Guidelines are READ ONLY and are found in the file titled GUIDELINES. You cannot alter these pages. You must have Acrobat Reader 3.0 (click here to download Adobe Acrobat Reader) or higher to read the guidelines. However, it is just as easy to refer to the printed version you received in the mail, when completing the application from the computerized, fill-in enabled forms you saved to your disk.

All forms have been designed in Microsoft Word 97. You must have this version or higher in order to maintain the formatting and complete the fill-in enable fields.

When opening a file, if you are prompted to do so - click Enable Macros.

Application narrative and form pages have been designed for best viewing when scaled to 75% or they may be viewed at 100%. Adjust your screen accordingly. No matter which scaling you use, go to the View Menu, click on Page Layout or Page View for ease of completion and to assure formating as designed. It is also suggested that you go to the tools menu, click Options, uncheck all boxes under non-printing characters.
BOXES Boxes can be checked by clicking in the square.
If you make a mistake, a second click will uncheck the box.
BUDGET
