Conditions of Funding
CAH reserves the right to rescind any and all grant awards for non-compliance with CAH grant guidelines, policies, or regulations, at any time. FY 2026 grant recipients with unmet reporting obligations on any CAH funding program are ineligible to receive additional awards from CAH.
Grant recipient agrees that it will include a CAH logo and/or a credit line in all of its grant-related announcements and promotional materials and that it will make its best efforts to publicly credit CAH support in any and every public event that is held related to CAH’s funding of programs and activities.
Reporting Requirements
During the life of the grant period, the award recipient is required to submit three (3) interim reports and a final report at the conclusion of the grant period. All grant awardees are responsible for demonstrating and documenting expenditures for the full (100%) grant amount. If the project costs are greater than the grant award and require a cash match, award recipients must also demonstrate and document expenditures for 100% of the matched amount. Grantees will be provided with additional information regarding reporting requirements. In addition to the interim and final reports, grantees will be required to submit a maintenance report regarding the care and maintenance of the artwork and a de-installation report (in the case of temporary projects)
Grant recipients who do not submit complete Final Reports are ineligible for further CAH funding.
Grant recipients will be required to submit Final, Maintenance, and De-installation (for temporary projects) Reports to CAH within 30 (thirty) days of the project completion or by close of business on Wednesday, October 15, 2026, whichever comes first.
Project Modifications
In general, grant recipients may make minor modifications to the fabrication or installation approach, materials, or other minor aspects of the project’s objectives. The grant recipient must notify CAH in writing to obtain written approval for those changes prior to the execution of their grant agreement. Modifications made after the execution of the grant agreement require review and approval prior to execution of proposed modifications.
CAH prohibits project scope changes to applications that have been approved by the Board of Commissioners. Project scope changes are defined as changes to a project’s requirements, milestones, deliverables, documents, and/or reports that alter the direction and purpose of the original scope.
