CAC’s Board of Trustees met Monday, November 14th at 4pm to approve the awards.

Project Support 2012 garnered the largest number of Intent to Apply and full applications in CAC’s history. A total of 131 organizations submitted Intent to Apply materials, of which 118 of were eligible. This is up over 45% from 2011, the year with the previous record number of submissions. The PS12 cohort of 88 cultural partners shows an increase of 56% from the 56 cultural partners in the PS11.

Increased outreach and a new, small grants program (Project Support II) led to a jump in participation and 36% of all organizations were first time applicants to CAC. Board of Trustees President, Sari Feldman said “We are extremely pleased with the results of the new PS II program. CAC has been able to expand its reach in to the community and provide more opportunities for arts and cultural organizations. Knowing that almost half of the applications came from the PS II pool lets us know that this program is a valuable addition to the process.”
