California Creative Corps – Administering Organization Grant

Purpose: The California Creative Corps pilot program, a media, outreach, and engagement campaign designed to increase: (1) public health awareness messages to stop the spread of COVID-19; (2) public awareness related to water and energy conservation, climate mitigation, and emergency preparedness, relief, and recovery; (3) civic engagement, including election participation; and (4) social justice and community engagement. The CAC is seeking applications from Administering Organizations with the capacity to administer regranting funds to arts and social service organizations and to individual artists and cultural workers throughout the state to develop media, outreach, and engagement campaigns that speak to the program goals listed above. The intention of this grant program is to provide as broad a geographic reach as possible and serve all 58 counties, while prioritizing communities that demonstrate the highest levels of need as indicated by the California Healthy Places Index. Neighborhood by neighborhood, the HPI maps data on social conditions that drive health — like education, job opportunities, and clean air and water. This data is used by community leaders, policymakers, academics and other stakeholders to compare the health and well-being of communities, identify health inequities and quantify the factors that shape health. Funded Administering Organizations and sub-grantee organizations, artists and cultural practitioners must demonstrate strong, ongoing relationships with communities that fall within the lowest quartile of the California Healthy Places Index and will support meaningful engagements with those communities through this grant. Eligible Applicants: Administering regranting programs to organizations with reach into communities impacted by the 4 program areas and to individuals, including providing direct grant payments Demonstrating strong, ongoing relationships with communities in the lowest quartile of the CA HPI Providing technical assistance Employing an online grants management system with the capacity to process hundreds of applications, and manage large amounts of regranting funds Eligible Geographies: The CAC will identify a minimum of one and no more than three AOs in each regional and statewide service area, as follows: Statewide Service Area Bay Area Regional Service Area Capital Regional Service Area Central Coast Regional Service Area Central Valley Regional Service Area Far South Regional Service Area Inland Empire Regional Service Area South Regional Service Area Upstate Regional Service Area
