Workshop: Applicants must pay costs up front; reimbursements take 4–8 weeks
Summary
Arts Council staff said grants are reimbursement-based — applicants must pay personally, provide receipts, and typically wait 4–8 weeks for county payment. Businesses or third parties cannot submit receipts on behalf of applicants.
Kathy Collins emphasized the reimbursement requirement: “you must personally pay for either the equipment or the educational experience and then submit a reimbursement request along with all of the required documents, in order to get reimbursed.” She repeated that business accounts or third-party payments are not acceptable and that reimbursements must come from the applicant’s personal account.
Collins advised applicants to plan for payment delays: the county typically takes “anywhere from 4 to 8 weeks to get payment.” She said applicants should document purchases carefully and match receipts to the budget in their application because the grant agreement incorporates the application by reference.
