Summary
This report seeks Council approval on the recommended funding allocations for the six non-profit organizations that have applied for municipal support through the Local Arts Service Organizations (LASOs) grant program.
Allocation recommendations presented in this report are based on the review by Economic Development and Culture Division staff and an external peer advisory panel. Arts and Culture Services staff manage the program and reviewed the grant applications with due diligence and in compliance with the City of Toronto’s Community Grants Policy adopted by Council at its July 16, 2013 meeting.
A total of $1,705,400 is included in the Economic Development and Culture 2018 Approved Operating Budget to fund the six Local Arts Service Organizations. The recommended 2018 allocations represent a redistribution of $23,500 (or 1.4 percent of the total program budget) to achieve greater equity in City support to the LASOs and to better reflect the relative performance of the LASOs.
