Reporting Forms

All Arts Council grant recipients are required to submit interim and final reporting forms. Interim reports are due no later than April 1, 2010 for recipients of Operating, Organizational Development, and Project grants. Final report forms are due 30 days following the completion of grant activities, and no later August 1, 2010. If you have any problems downloading the documents, please contact our Grants Coordinator, at (703) 642-0862, extension 4.

Prior to grant application deadlines, the Arts Council offers free grant writing workshops to applicants. All applicants, particularly first time applicants, are strongly encouraged to attend. Each workshop will cover the grants process and about tips to improve your application and lasts approximately one hour, possibly longer with questions. All workshops will be held at the Arts Council's offices at 4022 Hummer Road in Annandale, VA.

Upon receipt of the grant applications, staff reviews each application to ensure its completeness and the organization's eligibility to apply for funding. Then, the Arts Council convenes review panels to discuss each application's merits. There are three separate panels - one to discuss the Operating Support applications, a second to discuss the Project Support applications, and a third panel to discuss the Technical Support applications. Each panel is comprised of arts professionals with a particular knowledge or expertise of the segments of the arts community that are eligible to apply to the Arts Council for funding.
