Origin
Summary
The purpose of this report is to recommend the 2013 Culture Build Investment Program allocations to nine non-city-owned not-for-profit cultural facilities. The total allocation of $200,000.00 for 2013 Culture Build Investment Program was approved by City Council as part of the Economic Development and Culture budget on April 3 and 4, 2013.
The Culture Build Investment Program provides matching funds to assist the City's not-for-profit cultural sector with financing for state of good repair capital projects. The arts and cultural organizations that are supported through the Culture Build Investment Program provide a wide variety of opportunities for Toronto residents to engage in the arts as participants, volunteers or audience members. In its first seven years, the Culture Build Investment Program has helped bring 62 cultural facilities closer to a state of good repair.
The recommendations for allocations contained in this report are the result of a Peer Panel review of the applications received at the July 15, 2013 deadline according to established criteria. The administration of the review was carried out in accordance with the City of Toronto Grants Policy as adopted by Council on December 16 and 17, 1998.
Recent feedback from this year's Peer Review Panel suggest the Culture Build's eligibility criteria should be expanded to include a wider range of facilities with a core cultural mandate, and to include funding for feasibility studies for projects that would meet the criteria.
