Origin
Summary
The purpose of this report is to recommend the 2014 Culture Build Investment Program allocations to seven non-city-owned not-for-profit cultural facilities. The total allocation of $330,000.00 for 2014 Culture Build Investment Program was approved by City Council as part of the Economic Development and Culture operating budget on January 29, 2014.
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 eight years, the Culture Build Investment Program has helped bring 71 cultural facilities closer to a state of good repair.
The recommended allocations contained in this report are the result of a Peer Panel review of the applications received at the April 14, 2014 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 City Council and effective April 2013.
Based on feedback from last year's peer review panel, Culture Build's eligibility criteria has been 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.
