Kansas Governor, Laura Kelly, announced Friday that nearly $500,000 in Grant Funding is being made available to provide operational support to Kansas Arts organizations experiencing financial difficulties as a result of COVID 19.
The Kansas Department of Commerce and the Kansas Creative Industries Arts Commission will distribute Cares Act Arts Funding through the Short-Term Operational Support (SOS) Program, a Grant Program developed to assist with immediate financial needs resulting from the COVID 19 outbreak.
Kansas based nonprofit 501(C)(3) Arts Organizations whose primary purpose is to produce, present, promote or serve the Arts are eligible to apply for SOS Grant Funding. SOS Grants can be used by organizations to cover payroll, fees for contract personnel and facility costs such as rent and utilities.
Applications will be accepted beginning Monday, May 4 through Friday, May 15 2020.
