Standing Rock Cultural Arts is proud to announce that we have received a Sustainability Grant from the Ohio Arts Council for our future operations and programming.
The Sustainability Grant will help cover our operational expenses for fiscal years 2014 and 2015. We are honored to be one of the selected arts organizations to receive funding for this competitive grant.
This is what the OAC Panel said in their evaluation of our application:

OAC Sustainability Grants
The Sustainability program provides general operating support to arts and cultural organizations across Ohio that make important contributions to the health and vitality of our communities. Sustainability grants ensure that public support of the arts continues to play an integral role in celebrating the rich past and sustaining the vibrant future of Ohio’s cultural legacy through flexible and reliable funding for annual arts programming. A rigorous application and review process assures citizens and legislators that Sustainability grantees use public funds resourcefully and responsibly. Organizations must demonstrate excellent artistic, educational and cultural value; responsiveness to their community; credible planning and evaluation strategies; and a high level of financial and managerial accountability. When these characteristics are in balance, organizations are well-positioned to provide Ohioans with diverse opportunities to participate in the arts and enjoy their benefits throughout their lives.

Greetings,
Standing Rock Cultural Arts is a nonprofit 501(c)(3)
art and education organization based in downtown Kent. Our mission
is to Build Community Through The Arts.
We
nurture the spirit of creativity by providing opportunities for
children and the public to explore the arts. We do this by providing
opportunities for artists to bring their work to the community
through exhibitions, poetry readings, workshops, theatrical productions,
music performances, festivals, public art projects and special
events.
In an effort to help support these community-enriching activities,
we are initiating a new, low-priced, tax-deductible Membership
Plan in 2011 to supplement our other funding. We have student
memberships available for only $5 per year and a variety of plans
to fit individuals, couples, families, and even businesses! All
members will receive special benefits that are not generally available
to the public. Please read below to view the current benefits
of our membership plan. We look forward to adding additional benefits
as they become available and we invite any businesses to partner
with us on discounts. Of course, we will also continue, as always,
to accept any tax-deductible charitable contributions in order
to assist our mission of Community through the Arts.
Again,
your membership and/or contribution is tax-deductible and greatly
appreciated! Without the generous support of our donors and future
members, we would not be able to offer the diverse quality cultural
arts programming that we offer continuously throughout each year.
There is no greater compliment to our organization about how valued
our programming is to our community and area than your ongoing
support! Checks may be made payable to:
