2011 Regrant Program - JPMC Regrant Overview

For reference only: the following are not the full application guidelines. Please revisit this website in late August to download the full 2011 JPMorgan Chase Regrant guidelines.

The JPMC Regrant Program is sponsored by the JP Morgan Chase Foundation. JPMC Regrants support Brooklyn-based arts organizations whose primary mission is to provide arts and cultural activities open to the general public. Funds are awarded for specific capacity building projects that will contribute to the overall stabilization or growth of the applicant organization, and will help move it to the next level of success in achieving its mission. The application categories are: Audience Development; Marketing and Promotion; Organizational Development; Technological Expansion/Website Development.

GRANT AWARD INFORMATION
The JPMC Regrant requests range is $2,000 to $3,000. In past years, approximately 40-50% of applicants have been funded.

WHO CAN APPLY?
Brooklyn-based 501c3 nonprofit arts organizations that have been active for at least three years, have operating budgets of $500,000 or less, and have a board of directors that meets regularly.

WHO CANNOT APPLY?
To allow a greater number of groups to participate in the funding process, organizations that have received JPMC Regrant funding for the last three consecutive years must take a one-year hiatus before reapplying.

Note: Non-arts organizations (community groups, etc.) may apply for NYSCA and DCA Regrants to support a specific arts project. However, the JPMC capacity-building grants are only available to organizations where the arts are at the heart of their mission statement.

Can I submit more than one application for the JPMC Regrant?
No. Applicants may submit only 1 request to JPMC per grant cycle.

Can I apply to JPMC as well as other BAC Community Arts Regrant Programs?
In addition to a JPMC request, organizations may submit 1 DCA request and up to 3 NYSCA requests(for separate projects). NYSCA requests must not exceed a combined total of $5,000 in requested funding.

HOW TO APPLY
First-time applicants and past applicants who have not received any BAC regrants in the last two years are required to attend an application seminar. Click here to RSVP for one of the the JPMC Application Seminars.

All 2011 JPMC Regrant applications must be submitted online and in print by November 9, 2011.
