72 C APPENDIX C CULTURAL ARTS GRANT / SAMPLE APPLICATION & GUIDELINES ABOUT The City of San Leandro Cultural Arts Grants (CAG) is being established to make quality arts programming more accessible to all residents and visitors in San Leandro. CAG grants provide financial and technical assistance for community- based arts activities offered by eligible not-for-profits organizations within San Leandro limits. The program supports professional fees for artists, marketing costs, and technical production services, including presentation of artists from outside San Leandro limits providing it does not duplicate work being done by other San Leandro-based non-profit arts organizations. Arts programming must be the driving force of project requests. CAG grants are competitive.
