Summary
This report seeks Council approval on the recommended funding allocations for six non-profit organizations that have applied for municipal support through the Local Arts Service Organizations (LASOs) grant program. The LASOs are independent community arts organizations.
Allocation recommendations presented in this report are based on the review by Economic Development and Culture (EDC) Division staff and an external peer advisory panel. EDC staff manage the program and reviewed the grant applications in compliance with the City of Toronto’s Community Grants Policy, adopted by Council at its July 16, 2013 meeting.
A total of $1,817,400 is included in the Economic Development and Culture 2019 Approved Operating Budget to fund six LASOs. The recommended 2019 budget to be allocated in this Report represents an increase of $112,000 (or 7 percent increase over the 2018 total program budget) to support the valuable arts programming and services provided by the LASOs, while achieving greater equity in funding distribution and to fairly reflect the relative performance of the LASOs.
