School and Community Arts Program - Youth Performing Arts Travel Grant
|
| Purpose:
The Youth Performing Arts Travel Grant provides financial support for public school-based performing arts
groups (K – S4), participating in off-site performing arts events in or outside Manitoba. This grant may be
used to offset the registration, travel and accommodation costs associated with performing arts events. The
grant is intended to increase students' access to, and participation in, off-site performing arts events and
learning opportunities.
|
| Eligibility:
Applications must be initiated by a teacher and approved by a public school/division administrator.
Performing arts groups must be school-based, and participants in off-site events. Events of a non-participatory nature (ex: admission fees to a performance) are not eligible.
Funding is intended for off-site events only. Events hosted at the applicant’s school are not eligible.
Funding is intended to offset the costs of registration, travel and/or accommodations for performing arts groups. Funding is not intended for individual performing arts students.
|
| Criteria:
Applications will be assessed on the basis of financial need, anticipated impact, number of individuals served, cost-effectiveness and regional funding distribution. Consideration will be given to how the event builds on prior learning, enhances understanding, develops skills, and provides links to future learning opportunities.
All applicants will be notified of the grant decision in writing.
Grant recipients are required to submit a final report, which includes a post-event summary and the final financial statement of expenditures. Reports are due to the contact below within four weeks of the event's completion.

| Type of Assistance:
Full or partial funding (up to $5,000) is provided based on the identified financial need of the applicant (as specified in the Financial Information section of the School and Community Arts Program application), and is subject to availability of funds.
Grants of $2,500 or less will generally be provided in a single instalment upon approval.
Grants over $2,500 will be provided in two instalments. Approved applicants will receive 75 per cent of funding upon approval. The remaining funds will be released upon receipt of the final report.
A final report is required for all projects.
