MSAB Tier II Special Initiative Guidelines
Purpose: MSAB Tier II Organizations Special Initiative Program grants are specifically designed for new projects or initiatives, not currently funded under General Operating Support. These new projects will be viewed by SEMAC as “research and development” and should rely on the artistic expertise the organization has developed through its ongoing operations. It is hoped that the Tier II groups will develop new programming that will serve the artistic needs of the communities of the region. These grants require no cash match, but will require a one for two match of in-kind services, time, space, and supplies. SEMAC will not support a project using art as a vehicle for other goals; for example, education, rehabilitation, or socialization.
