Congratulations on receiving a BAC Community Arts Regrant!
The following guidelines will help you understand the Regrant process and make the most of your award. These guidelines apply to funding provided by NYSCA, DCA, NYSCA IND-TIER, and JPMC Regrants.
Receiving Your Funding
In early January, you will receive a letter telling you how much funding you have been awarded. A Project Revision Form will be enclosed with your award letter. You’ll use this form to show BAC how you plan to make any necessary changes to your project description and budget based on the funding you’ve received. You will be required to submit the Project Revision Form even if you’ve been awarded your requested amount. Please submit it promptly (via mail or hand-delivery) to the BAC office. BAC cannot proceed with the funding process until we have reviewed it.
Please note: any changes made to your project on the Project Revision Form will be reflected in your contract and are binding. Subsequent changes will only be considered under extenuating circumstances. If it becomes necessary to make further changes to your project dates or description, please notify BAC in writing as soon as you become aware of the possibility.
Upon approval of the Project Revision Form, we will mail you a Contract Agreement specifying the terms and conditions of your funded project. You must sign the Contract Agreement and return it to BAC in order to receive your funding.
In March, all Awardees are publicly recognized at the BAC Community Arts Regrant Awards Ceremony. Award checks will be available following the ceremony. Please note that although we present checks in March, Regrant projects may take place at any point during the year.
Reporting
Awardees are required to submit a Final Report to BAC within 30 days of the project end date stated on the Contract Agreement.
If the end date of your Regrant project is after May 31st, you must also submit an Interim Report detailing the progress of your project to date. All Interim Reports are due May 31st.
Project Visits
As part of our responsibility to you, a BAC staff member or panelist may attend your funded project. Please notify BAC via phone or email at least three weeks in advance of your event so that we can schedule accordingly. Please provide BAC with a copy of any invitations or flyers advertising your event, and be sure that we have the exact date, time and location as well as two complimentary tickets to the event.
Stay in Touch!
We love to hear about what’s going on with our Awardees! We strongly encourage artists to become members of the BAC Online Artist Registry. Organizations are invited to join the BAC Online Directory. Joining is free and easy. Both the Registry and the Directory are accessible to the public, and are a great way to make yourself visible in Brooklyn and beyond.
Our quarterly print newsletter, BAC News, lists Regrant events for free on a first-come, first-served basis. You will receive quarterly emails with submission deadlines for event announcements.
Please be sure to keep your contact information with the regrant department current, by letting us know if you move, or get a new phone number or email. Also, please set your email accounts and spam blockers to accept mail from regrant@brooklynartscouncil so that you don’t miss important announcements.
If at any point you have questions regarding your Regrant, please email regrant@brooklynartscouncil.org or call (718) 625-0080. Ongoing organizational assistance is available to Awardees throughout the year. Please contact the regrant department to learn about resources available to individuals and organizations.
