ARTS PARTNER GRANTS APPLICATION

ARTS PARTNER SponsorSHIP APPLICATION

The primary purpose of the use of grant funds must be for artistic events or activities which benefit residents of Maple Ridge. Projects or activities should demonstrate a clear benefit to the community. Funding is applicable for either future activities or project support, and cannot be applied retroactively to projects or activities that have already taken place. General operations support is not eligible for funding.

To be eligible, organizations must (a) have Canada Revenue Agency registered charitable status and (b) be located in Maple Ridge.

Please note that The ACT does not accept proposals for this type of grant from or for Religious organizations; Individual requests or organizations benefitting individuals or individual activities; Philanthropic clubs, such as Rotary Clubs and Lions Clubs; Advocacy or public interest groups; School activities; Fundraising events or activities.

The ACT Arts Centre may consider a limited number of paid sponsorship relationships that will mutually benefit The ACT Arts Centre and the partnering organization. Sponsorships are not a grant or donation from The ACT, but are a business relationship between the sponsored organization and The ACT Arts Centre.

The ACT’s objective is to foster partnerships with organizations that have a strong influence in Maple Ridge, Pitt Meadows, and surrounding market regions, while ensuring a positive impact on The ACT’s business development and brand image.
