GAAC Funding
Grants Awarded to GAAC
The GAAC applies for grants to help offset programming expenses, upgrade facilities, and deliver programs to the community. Unlike donations and sponsorships, grants are usually restricted to specific areas of use.
Here’s some of the recent grants GAAC has received and how we are using them. We also recieve grants from the Town of Teulon and the RM of Rockwood.
Manitoba Arts Council
Annual Operational Grant
Generously supported by Manitoba Arts Council.
The Manitoba Arts Council is an arm’s-length agency of the Province of Manitoba, established in 1965 “to promote the study, enjoyment, production and performance of works in the arts.” MAC makes awards to professional arts organizations and individuals in all art forms including theatre, literature, dance, music, painting, sculpture, architecture or the graphic arts, and includes other similar creative or interpretative activity, including arts education. MAC uses a peer assessment process in making awards. Historically, the main criterion used to assess applications is artistic merit.
MAC is funded through Manitoba Sport, Culture and Heritage. MAC reports annually through the Minister of Sport, Culture and Heritage to the Provincial Legislature in its Annual Report , and board operations are audited annually.
