*艺术公平项目资助财政机构
The 北卡罗来纳州艺术委员会 is making an exception to our fiscal agency policies for the FY2021-22 Arts Equity Project Grant category.  Applicants based in North Carolina who do not meet the eligibility criteria of 1) 501c3 organization, 2)最近的组织费用预算为20美元,000或更多, 3) track-record of programming for at least two years are eligible to apply for grant support in this category with a fiscal agent.  Fiscal agents must meet the aforementioned eligibility criteria and must be willing to accept legal and fiduciary responsibility for the grant funding if awarded.  Fiscal agents receive the grant payment and pass the funding directly to the applicant.  While fiscal agents can charge a service fee up to 10% of the grant amount if they wish, the management of the Arts Equity Project is the responsibility of the applicant who will conduct the project. 

如果奖助金被授予, both the fiscal agent and the applicant group will sign the grant award contract.  The fiscal agent and the applicant will both be required to sign off on the final report at the end of the project period.

Organizations that receive funding from the 北卡罗来纳州艺术委员会 in the SAR, SSO, 基层, and TAPs grant categories are not allowed to apply for an Arts Equity Project Grant; however, 它们可以作为该类别的一个应用程序的财政代理.
