Current Assets


The hallmark of District grants is unrestricted operating funds.  RAD operating grants to assets can be used for all of the basics, like staff, utilities and maintenance. Since 1995, the District has also awarded $55.1 million in capital grants for projects like accessibility, critical infrastructure and equipment. RAD funds also have made possible special collaborations among assets that have contributed to budget savings and audience development. Check here for the full listed of funded assets from 1995-2010.  

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The District will support three grant categories in 2009: Contractual Assets—organizations selected in 1994 for 10-year funding commitments that were reauthorized for five additional years starting in 2005; Annual Assets—organizations that apply for support on an annual basis; Multi-Year—Grants with commitments for more than one year of commitments beyond the contractual asset period. In 2009, the District created the first Connections Grants to foster collaborative efforts that will lower overhead costs.  The first grants will be funded in 2010.
