Not only does grant support reflect favorably on the <br />value the City places on arts and culture, but it also is significant in leveraging <br />other public and private donations. <br />With the goal of fostering economic health and cultural vitality in San Leandro, <br />Special Project Grants would provide financial support on a competitive basis to <br />local non-profit 501(c)(3) arts organizations for project-based arts programming. <br />Grants would be awarded up to $10,000 to support cultural and arts programs <br />and services that involve direct community participation. <br />Each project would require a specific arts presentation, exhibition, performance, <br />or creation of work that is fully executed within a specified timeline and contains <br />a public component that will benefit the maximum number of San Leandro <br />residents and have the potential to attract more artists and visitors. <br />21
