BACKGROUND: The Orange County Arts Commission, as an approved Designated County Partner (DCP), sub grants Grassroots Grants to local arts organizations from funding provided by the North Carolina Arts Council Grassroots Arts Program. Funds are distributed for arts programming that reflects the racial and cultural diversity of the County. Each organization receiving a Grassroots Grant matches the grant amount with local dollars in order to receive an award. FINANCIAL IMPACT: There is no financial impact on Orange County as this action represents a pass-through of State funds. RECOMMENDATION(S): The Manager recommends that the Board acknowledge the local recipients of the awards during the November 6, 2002 meeting with the presentation of checks by the Board Chair Barry Jacobs.
