Summary
The purpose of this report is to recommend the 2018 Culture Build Investment Program grant allocations for eight privately-owned cultural facilities. Funding for the Culture Build Investment Program was approved by City Council as part of the Economic Development and Culture Division's 2018 operating budget.
The Culture Build Investment Program provides matching funds to assist Toronto's not-for-profit cultural sector with state of good repair capital projects. The arts and cultural organizations that are supported by the program provide a wide variety of opportunities for Toronto residents to engage in the arts as creators, participants, volunteers or audience members.
The allocations recommended in this report are the result of a review of eligible applications by a peer advisory committee. All applications were received by the February 7, 2018 deadline and assessed by a four person committee according to established criteria. The program is administered in accordance with the City of Toronto Community Grants Policy as adopted by City Council.
